State legislator, Ed Murray, of the Washington Senate has introduced legislation to end capital punishment in the State of Washington. Though way late for this state and the so-called liberal Democratic Party majority, here, in attempting to join several states, Europe and much of the world in banning this anachronistic practice, this is an important effort. Death penalties are error-prone, discriminatory and seemingly go against the teachings of Christianity. Society has the option of life in prison for the most dangerous criminals. "Commons" also calls for a federal ban on capital punishment.
