Why don't we just lobotomize them? Or why don't we just sever their spinal chord, so they have to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair rendering them unable to commit violent crime? Or how about since we're advocating barbaric, sadistic punishments that simply lower the giver of punishments to the level of the violent criminals, why don't we just put a bullet in their head and set them out on the curb for the garbageman?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
