Careful there, Steve.  In general, your points in this post are
well-taken, but the proportion of (almost inevitably poor) blacks on
death row is WAY out of proportion with their numbers in the general
population.  Moreover, over 80% of death penalty cases involve a white
victim, despite the fact that only 50% of murder victims nationally are
white.  There is an indisputable connection between race and the
application of the death penalty in the US, and especially in TX.

See, e.g., http://jpi.tamu.edu/DeathPenalty.html if you are interested
in educating yourself (as you generally seem more than eager to be).
