Tonight was interesting. Went to see The Exonerated...Brian Dennehy and Stockard Channing were the famous faces in this week's show (every week they get another few famous actors to read a couple of the roles). I love them both as actors and I was excited for the night, even though I knew the subject matter would be intense and riling. We started out sitting in our seats talking about online dating...always a thrill (note sarcasm). And then the show started and the transition from jdate to death row was...I don't know...sort of jarring.

I am adamantly opposed to the death penalty. A show like The Exonerated only confirms that for me. There is no in between on the death penalty, as far as I am concerned. You are either for it or against it. Certainly if someone killed someone I love dearly I would want them killed - I would probably want to do it myself. But vengeance is not justice. And the death penalty is state sponsored vengeance. And it's wrong.
