Thom Hartmann believes we have been practicing human sacrifice in the U.S. since the beginning and continue to do so today.

1. No description of what this is about?

2. He is right. When we allow the poor to die very young because

they do not have healthcare, enough food and clean water or even shelter so that our rich can be richer - that is human sacrifice.

When my disabled daughter was born severely disabled it was suggested that she be put into an institution where the life expectancy was less than 30 years old. I refused to sacrifice her so that I could do better. Today she is going to be 58 years old.

The problem with the death penalty is that it effects primarily the poor and and minorities. That makes it the supreme act of discrimination.

4. Good way to reframe

“Human Sacrifice” is a compelling way to reframe the argument against executions. That and the fact that we now have evidence to prove the innocent people have been executed.

5. How many times have we heard from Right-Wingers "Freedom isn't free!"....

They actually believe for someone to be free someone else has to die.
