Jim in Wisconsin - (Where we haven't had the death penalty since the 1800's but in an advisory referendum for a state constitutional amendment during last November's elections, the majority of my fellow Wisconsinites who cast a vote, voted to re-instate a death penalty! That doesn't make it happen, but it sure is disgusting.)
