Someone recently posted this question on a social networking site… The Death Penalty: Does it really solve anything? I feel compelled to share the conversation.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg & the NYT both support the idea. But CNN & FOX polls are showing an increasing…

This November marks only the sixth time I’ve had the important opportunity to offer my vote for who should hold the office of President, but I’m already feeling a range of emotions… I don’t really like either of the candidates. I don’t know if they mean what they say. I don’t know who to trust. I don’t know if my vote will really count anyway. Ever feel this way? If so, I trust the next few paragraphs will help you during days ahead….
