Dear Bagpuss On the death penalty being a racial bias. The only way I can see that being so is if we were split into two separate groups those who live in peace and believe in justice and those who do not and commit murder.We are all of one race the human one and as I said earlier it matters not the color of your skin do the crime pay the price.Would it had made a difference if McVeigh was black or Asain and killed those people in Oklahoma?
