What a strange convergence of themes for me today.  I was just thinking of a 
post a few days ago about Springsteen's Nebraska and how it gave the poster 
chills.  Nebraska is one of my favorite albums, and the title track always 
gives me chills.  The song is beautifully written and delivered in the spare 
immediate style the Bruce has, and basically is about a man guilty of casual 
and abject killings.  Sitting on death row his answer to why he did it (and 
the last line of the song) is - "Well sir, I guess there's just a meaness to 
this world"

Beth is raging against a world that creates captial punishment, I am raging 
against a world that produces the people we sentence to death.  I don't 
believe in god anymore, but sometimes I wish I could believe in the devil, 
it would give me someone to blame.
