When you see the natural and almost universal craving in English sick for their 'tea,' you cannot but feel that nature knows what she is about. . . . A little tea or coffee restores them. . . . There is nothing yet discovered which is a substitute to the English patient for his cup of tea.

Since I was a law student, I have been against the death penalty. It does not deter. It is severely discriminatory against minorities, especially since they're given no competent legal counsel defense in many cases. It's a system that has to be perfect. You cannot execute one innocent person. No system is perfect. And to top it off, for those of you who are interested in the economics it, it costs more to pursue a capital case toward execution than it does to have full life imprisonment without parole
