An open letter

This is powerful: Walter C. Long: An Open Letter to Richard Linklater on Our Texas Death Penalty.

There are Linklater films that I love, like the "Before" series, I found Boyhood[Wiki] stunning. I don't know if I could manage God Save Texas: Hometown Prison[Wiki], usually when I turn to the screen I'm looking for light escape, but it sounds like it's powerful. This essay sure is.

The Texas Observer reminds me time and again that even in the deepest heart of red darkness there are still many many people who are on the right side of life. It's important to remember that 60-40 election losses, while disheartening, mean that 40% of the people there voted democratic.
