Washington Death Penalty

Things may be pretty shitty in the USA these days, with high-profile political losses and failures in health care, jobs and the economy, Card Check--remember that one?--gun control, voting and civil rights, abortion and birth control rights, our glorious imperial adventures, but there have been some important wins along the margins, in marriage equality, drugs, and the death penalty.  Washington is the latest state to join the 20th century and suspend executions.  This is not the biggest deal in America in 2014 but is a solid step forward for our civilization.  Gov. Jay Inslee did the right thing.  Good for him.  We gotta take everything we can get.
