The United States, Out of Sodium Thiopental

But this shortage, presumably, will not prevent the United States from continuing to apply the death penalty. There are many ways to kill people. Then Obama can talk to Hu Jintao about human rights.

The world's leading power is reluctant to abandon its wildest traditions, such as the death penalty and the right to bear firearms. Actually, the largest and most populated country in the world is stupidity, and it should be noted that it is not harmless.

Even when it's clear that the U.S. is in obvious decline, its citizens seem to have lost the desire to build a country and have replaced that wish with the arrogance of knowing themselves to be the most powerful country in the world. And although we've seen that they are powerful, but not invulnerable, they are unwilling to change how they do things and prefer to have their country dictating the agenda of others.

They don't care to know their judges are no longer the role models for other judges of the world either, since they have become vulgar and often corrupt, as elsewhere. Many of the sentences, capital or otherwise, dictated by U.S. judges are based on fake evidence or false witnesses; however, the citizens still favor the death penalty. That is, lowering the State to the level of the murderers.

Someone with sufficient authority before the American people should come and tell them clearly and unambiguously that in order to avoid decline, it's necessary to take a new direction, leaving behind all atavistic manners that obviously no longer work, abandoning the outdated imperialist ideas and choosing new ideals and a spirit of cooperation with the other democratic nations of the world. Wild times are over.



Pero esta carencia, presumiblemente, no impedirá que en Estados Unidos se siga aplicando la pena de muerte. Hay muchas maneras de matar a la gente. Luego, Obama le puede hablar a Hu Jintao de Derechos Humanos.
La primera potencia mundial se resiste a abandonar sus tradiciones más salvajes, como son la pena de muerte y el derecho a llevar armas de fuego. Realmente, la patria más extensa y más poblada del mundo es la estupidez, y conviene precisar que no es inocua.

No importa que sea patente que Estados Unidos esté en franco declive, sus ciudadanos parecen haber perdido la ilusión por hacer un país, y han sustituido esa ilusión por la prepotencia de saberse el país más poderoso del mundo y aunque se haya visto que son poderosos pero no invulnerables se resisten a cambiar el modo de hacer las cosas, prefieren que su país siga dictando el orden del día a los demás.

Tampoco les importa saber que sus jueces ya no son el modelo a imitar por los demás jueces del mundo, puesto que se han adocenado, y a menudo corrompido, como en otros lugares. Muchas de las penas, de muerte o no, que dictan los jueces estadounidenses se basan en pruebas amañadas o en falsos testigos; sin embargo, los ciudadanos de ese país siguen estando a favor de la pena de muerte. O sea, de rebajar al Estado al nivel de los asesinos.

Debería surgir alguien, con suficiente autoridad ante el pueblo estadounidense, que le dijera claramente y sin ambages que para evitar el declive es necesario tomar un nuevo rumbo dejando atrás todos los atavismos, que evidentemente ya no sirven, abandonando las anticuadas ideas imperialistas y optar por ideales nuevos y espíritu de colaboración con las naciones democráticas del mundo. La época salvaje ya pasó.
