Bringing back the death penalty is not justice, it’s the ultimate form of slavery. It is inhumane to believe that taking another life restores safety or peace. The New Hampshire legislature repealed the death penalty in 2019 by a bipartisan, two-thirds majority. Since then, there has been no rise in homicide. In fact, New Hampshire has the lowest homicide rate in the nation.
There are few albums in a person’s life that change the way they listen to music. “Grace” was one of those albums for me. When I first listened to it, I thought my ex-girlfriend was taunting me, rubbing it in my face as Buckley rendered sonic heartbreaks with tunes like “Last Goodbye” and “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.”

If we learn and share together we can learn to respect and celebrate each other better.

One of my favorite activities of the holiday season is watching “The Twilight Zone” marathon on the SYFY Channel, which begins at 5 a.m. on New Year’s Eve and runs through New Year’s Day. This year, I sacked out on the couch for 14 straight hours and have exactly zero regrets about it.
