our schools, or at the coffee shop. They look odd
enough to frighten a circus clown, but for some
reason, they always smile when you look their way.
Perhaps its that their hair is the color of the
sunset or that their pants look like they could
house a small family. It could be that their
headphones seem permanently glued to their ears
and that theyre never afraid to groove on the
sidewalk. Whatever the reason, you know that they

Sentenced To Death Death Penalty

The death penalty has become archaic. As a
society, we have become more civilized. The death

reject the death penalty as the cruel, barbaric,
and outmoded vehicle it has become. We, as a
society, are becoming more civilized. But we are
