Great, thank you so much, Pilgrim.

Yes, that helps-there is still some confusion, namely in the fact 15 or 16 states do not have the death penalty law in place (And they're not all liberal-North Dakota sure isn't, anyway).

As a Christian, I suppose the important point is that we not crave vengeance when personally wronged. The rest is up to God's judgement. That makes sense to me, anyway, doesn't it.

Thanks again, Pilgrim.
