From a human standpoint I just cannot condone torture. And I guess I should have expected such a reaction from having posted what I did.
It’s just that things seem to be repeating history and I dabbled in a little too much speculation in what should be a political solution to things.
I regret my post.
Don’t; it’s a valid point.
I probably should regret my response, but I don’t.
The absolute injustice of the “rules are for you but not me”/authoritarian-styled regime we call government is horrifying; and it’s all the more terrible that they are spreading and ACTIVELY promoting injustices (like the Phil. Voter Intimidation case)... the founders put it this way “all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
Maybe I’m really weak for finding things to be unbearable; but if so, it is a personal failing.
