(October 7, 2016 at 7:42 pm)Thumpalumpacus Wrote: I still have a tendency to say "yes" for a couple of crimes, but I recognize that as an emotional urge, which has no place in making or carrying out laws and penalties, to my mind.

I don't even have that kind of emotional tendency. I get emotional in saying that I would probably torture and kill someone hurting my loved ones. And I get emotional in excusing someone who actually does just that.

But I find it obscene that authorities resort to revenge killings as a form of justice. But on the other hand I'm honest enough to myself that no crime, if it isn't close to home, strikes any emotional cord with me. It's just another helping of news, and I have to say I'm that overfed with horrible things happening in this world to feel emotional about any of them.
