Waiting for society to evolve

Wednesday, May 7, 2007

Re “Lull’s over – U.S. execution dates mount,” May 3: Let’s hope that one day very soon our society will have evolved to look at state-sponsored murder for the barbaric practice it is, much like we now abhor slavery.

Stephen Bright, president of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, predicted, “There will be more executions than people have the stomach for.” That is a sad statement of how we may get there.

In the words of Gandhi, “Let us be the change we want to see in others,” and stop using violence to bring about nonviolence.
