Texas is the execution capitol.

When George W was governor a Texas black man was dragged by a chain around his neck behind a pickup truck until his head came off. The good ol white boys who did it were caught. Gov. George never condemned the act. Never sent even a staffer to the funeral of the victim.

Do you know what happened ? ...there was a debate about the unfairness of having a seperate catagory of crimes deemed hate crimes.

I still wonder if those pickup lynchers were ever executed?
