Politics alert (Steph, stop reading)

On the drive home, I heard on the radio that the Supreme Court finally ended juvenile executions. I remember being shocked years ago when learning that the U.S. still put people to death for crimes committed when they were legally children. We were the last Western government that still engaged in it, yet few of us felt ashamed. Today I was equally shocked when hearing the news. Even in contemporary America, where vengeance is the state religion, the government is still capable of doing the right thing.

Gotta love that Constitution. This made my (otherwise crappy) day.
