Starting the day with a smile

From Yahoo News

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The idea of executing child rapists, even when there in no loss of life, is making headway in the United States.

The Louisiana Supreme Court last week upheld the death sentence for a pedophile, and the governor of Texas is soon to sign into law legislation to that effect.

In 1995, Louisiana was the first state to adopt legislation authorizing the death penalty for child rapists.

(For some reason, the Yahoo article identifies one man as a 42 year old Patrick Kennedy. And then links to the biography and voting record of a certain 40 year old Patrick Kennedy, Rhode Island Democrat Representative. That's just plain wrong.)
