Grim milestone reached yesterday: 1,000th execution by lethal injection in U.S.

Yesterday in Ohio, Marvallous Keene became the 1,000th person executed by lethal injection in the U.S.

Let's hope that we will never see a 2,000th case.

The death penalty is about revenge, not justice.

And, as Mahatma Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
