Without correction, there will be no change from the bad behavior.
The correction must be strong enough to preclude further bad behavior from the individual and from others.
You and I require little correction. We police ourselves.
Not all people are like us.
They do not police themselves, and they do not change their behaviors for mild correction.
They will continue their improper behavior until they are sufficiently corrected.
It is hard for gentle people to imagine and witness sufficient correction.
Gentle people imagine themselves or their loved ones receiving this correction.
They will not if they police themselves.
Their fears are groundless.
It is foolish in the extreme to think that these people think and feel as we do.
They don’t.
They must have the appropriate correction applied to them or they will continue their wrong behavior and this will encourage others to behave like them.
By God what did the Founders leave it to us for?
