On Wednesday, May 27^th, lawmakers in Nebraska overrode the veto of its governor to become the first conservative state in forty years to repeal the death penalty. The vote of 30 to 19 saw 17 Republicans crossover in this landmark decision. This is huge and has national ramifications. 

Americans seem more willing to be more like Europe than ever. It’s been underscored by a recent Gallup poll that show surging moral acceptability on things such as  gay marriage, having children out of wedlock, and doctor-assisted suicides.

By the same token, the support is declining for the death penalty and medical testing on animals. I know that some of you hate political talk, but to be honest, I don’t care what people do in their own bedroom.  I’ll stay out; just don’t take my wallet. However, if we think Europe is the answer socially, will we embrace their economic policies?
