So yeah... Sorry for that.I understand, I'm not a fan myself - however, you've just described your own value judgements - your own personal feelings.
I don't think you're wrong, please don't think that. I'm just highlighting how difficult it is to make statements such as the one I quoted and remain consistent.
Yes towards the American criminal Justice system... But it goes a long way from me making a value judgement during a conversation and letting my emotions or feelings [personal] determine how I should write down a law - Not to mention laws are written down by a number [more than one] of people, so usually one's feelings don't dictate it... Everything we do is determined by our feelings, because we feel like doing it - But it doesn't mean we can't use our rationality... And feelings isn't the same as emotions - check this out to figure out why.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
