On what basis do you morally condemn the Imperial Japanese experiments? After all they set their own standards, didn't they? You and I might not agree with their standards, or the results of their experiments, but I'm sure their decision to experiment on human beings and kill them was not reached lightly.
If the decision of a State court judge to dehydrate and starve to death a U.S. citizen to death was not taken lightly, then what's wrong with it? Why is it 'tragic' to you, since it was purportedly done with due process?
Cordially,
That was a good one.
Goodnight folks, going to bed early (it's 8:30 p.m. now). Take care. I hope to see Steel Wolf's and others' inputs tomorrow some time.
Pray for Terri. This may be her last night on earth and the first night of a terrible new reign of Judicial Tyranny in our land. I hope it is a better dawn tomorrow, I'll hope for that at the very least, but I fear it may well bring bitter news. Good night.
Clever, clever.
The Imperial Japanese lived under a military dictatorship, and had all the moral legitimacy that a dictatorship provides. They had no Constitution, or Bill of Rights, or any legal safeguards whatsoever. There was no social contract or commitment that people will not be deprived of life or liberty without due process. They had nothing. They didn't even have the pseudo-legitimate cover that Hitler did about being elected.
So, while I am amused by the clever twisting of words, I'm not seeing your point.
