"Ethan Couch's parents - who Texas Judge Jean Boyd conceded empowered the teen with such a strong sense of entitlement, he couldn't be held fully accountable for his drunken driving killings of four people - each have long, detailed legal records, though neither has spent a moment in prison"

While "moral philosophy" has ceased to be a subject serious authors contemplate, the illogic conctained in this statement demonstrates that those wielding the power of government have become deranged. When we abandon the principle of cause and effect, we abandon all the empirical sciences, history, and the basis of the Common Law. We have literally lost our collective minds. And when we abandon the principal of personal responsibility for the consequences of our actions, not thoughts, but actions, we surrender the foundations of western morality.

It is sad that the undermining of critical thinking was intended to prepare us for the now collapsed and much maligned philosophy of Marxist-Leninism, and has prepared us instead for Dhimmitude.

That punk kid is like O.J. Simpson. They both got away with murder the first time but their criminal behavior continues and in the end they end up in prison.

Justice isn’t just punishing the transgressor. It’s also to deter others from committing the same crime.
