On Troy Davis

Like so many, I signed countless petitions for Troy Davis.  I sent countless letters that those much more committed than I were gracious enough to compose.  I even said a Hail Mary for him while the Supreme Court was considering a stay of his execution. 

It didn't matter.

And all I will take out of Troy Davis' execution this evening is an even stronger conviction that the government should remain solely a force for good, and has absolutely no business taking the life of any human being under the auspices of our very fallible legal system.

Peace,
