This is America. Let it unfurl.

[Mark Kohut]

There was an unbelieveable moment in the Republican Debate. Absolutely unbelievable. Brian Williams asked Gov Perry about "the highest number of death penalty executions" in his state, 234, and, for almost the only sound from the audience the whole night (except some clapping), they CHEERED. Spontaneously. Before Perry even gave his 'justice' answer. 
 
How can so many be so hardened with a death wish---for others unknown even--- as to CHEER? At the number. Like a winnning score.
 
I thought of Gravity's Rainbow, the whole awareness of a death wish.......Life Against Death........
 
Yes, I 'knew' this ......but it is still unbelieveable to see at a televised national debate
 
Revelatory.
