> Sixty-nine Percent of Americans Support Death Penalty

Absolutely predictable. A taste for mass murder is the very essence of
Empire.

It's just that the Americans like to invent machines to accelerate the
killing -- electric chairs and depleted uranium munitions. Whereas the
British preferred to carry out their (neo)colonial genocides with mass
starvation.
