One execution every 10 days in the US

CNN is predicting that the 1,000th execution since the Gary Gilmore execution in 1976 lifted a 10 year long moratorium in the States will take place within the next week. The article mentions two or three likely candidtates for the milestone event.
I have two reactions to the story. First, sadness that such a wonderful people as the citizens of the US could tolerate this situation. And second, thankfulness that I live in another country.
