In our usual debate about the good and bad of certain groups of people, I found this story interesting. Mark Stroman, executed for murdering 2 people he thought were Arabs, admits that ignorance led to his hatred, and a Muslim man that survived his rampage calls for clemency.

"I had some poor upbringing and I grabbed a hold of some ideas which was ignorance, you know, and hate is pure ignorance. I no longer want to be like hate, I want to be like me,"
 
You need to read two books by John Grisham. The first (fiction) is called The Confession and is brilliant. The second is non fiction and is called "The Innocent Man".

It's a shame he didn't harness his 'ignorance' to fly a plane into a building in Riyadh.
 
The whole world will be dead if we just keep letting them get away with it.

Agreed. We just need to get the right ones. Uncle Sam did a pretty darn fine job in getting rid of Obama. We don't need ex-fruitcakes like this taking the law into his own hands - whether in Texas or in a plane in Riyadh (figuratively speaking).
