As far as the death penalty, I don't think we should have it. Especially in a racist society with a corrupt justice system. I think this issue is a no brainer. I believe that killing someone is only justifiable in self-defense. Be that nation, community, or personal. By that I don't mean ridiculous, self-serving, imperialistic war, I mean resisting oppression, fight for sovereignty, defense of self and property.

I'm not saying that I am free of all contradiction, but I am saying that I seek to be consistent in my application of my beliefs. I recently stopped buying leather and eating all types of meat for these very reasons. I'm not going to diss anyone for eating meat howver. It tastes good and its a part of most cultures so the practice is highly engrained into our psyche.
