Tookie Williams denied clemency

Well, we'll have to just disagree that the ability to give life and the right to take it are connected, though it is a bizarre concept to me.

The creation of life is a chemical process. The right to take life is a societal decision. To me it is like saying you can only choose to use nuclear energy if, first, you have the ability to put the atoms back together.

And I never said anything about being god. God doesn't exist and I haven't the time nor energy for omniscience. I'll settle for a simple benevolent dictatorship.
