I agree it's not justice. It's one of those terribly disturbing times when the law itself is the obstacle to justice.
I am not one who advocates civil disobedience, or dissolving a system of government, or trashing political leaders who stepped up to a scorching hot plate.
I am someone who believes that, with all it's glaring flaws, this remains the best form of government on this Earth. ----If only because we, the people, have the power to change these laws and return justice to the "right to live" issue.
Fighting for these changes is how I choose to honor the life and struggle of Terri and the Schindler family.
And, there's nothing "tempered" about it.
Personally, I think Rosa Parks was right, so I am in favor of civil disobedience. I think you do too. A leap to "dissove a system of government" is hyperbole. Advocating against "trashing political leaders" is advocating against criticism. Free speech and all that. Some folks speak their minds in technically incorrect terms and in ethically charged discussion are apt to be hyperbolic. But their sentiment comes through, even if the expression lacks polish. THose of us who are more polished have a duty to temper the discussion, but not to temper the sentiment.

I am not as optimistic as you are. The people's connection to power is weak. But I do agree that, in principle, our system is the best yet devised by man. But it isn't working according to its design, and as the founders noted, the system depends on maintenance. Franklin - "A Republic, if you can keep it" and Adams, "a system fit only for a moral people" come to mind.
Glad to have you working for "power to the people." I'd like to hear what changes you believe will be effective.
Well put!
