A co-worker forwarded this link to me. It's a site with the final statements of people executed in Texas. I expected angry statements, and ones lashing out at the system that gave up on them. But what I didn't expect were the majority of statements, which were full of peace, love, and acceptance of their deaths. Some of those people have little more than a few years' of high school education, yet some of their statements are wonderfully profound.
