I mean, this just re-enforces what I said. I can’t think of one example where people are not eventually corrupted by power. Hence, why people are shitty. It really is in our nature to destroy ourselves. Just look at where we are now. There’s no proof we’ll get better. It’s all just lofty ideals we like to say, which is another shitty thing we do. We are shit.

The state tells you murder is illegal. Except when the state does it. You can’t expect people to follow, “do what I say, not what I do.”

It’s cruel, it’s a reflection of our morals. The death penalty is not a deterrent for murder. The death penalty is hypocrisy. The death penalty is for an unserious society.

But the death penalty is just a symptom of a greater chronic illness we suffer from. We’ll just continue to kill ourselves until we find a cure for the disease.

Edit: I see many do not like my wording for state sanctioned murder. If you are reading this and don’t understand, imagine if listening to George Bush (can’t remember which) tell the tv America doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. He’s drawing a moral line in the sand with terrorism. That’s my point. We need to figure out where our moral line in the sand is with the death penalty, because right now it’s all over the place. Do I think outlawing the death penalty will solve our societal woes? No, I do not. The people will demand it until it is reinstated. For me I ask what is the purpose of the death penalty? Does it serve a greater good for a society? Obviously it does not. Americans are murdered all the time, so it serves no purpose.

You’re so close. It’s true. Why give them when we don’t have it covered for ourselves.

You hint on a lot of other issues too, like homelessness and drug programs.

I’ll say this, we do not have an issue with funding. For example we can look at other countries that do have proper funding for these programs and their gdp is nowhere near what the US generates. And yet we struggle!?

We have problems that we can’t solve alone but we are indoctrinated into thinking that we can.

We don’t need to throw this money away, but we do. Somebody will get paid a boat load of money and some poor immigrant will receive substandard healthcare. All this is working as intended and someone in 50 years will ask the same question.

Americans have accepted this idea. To our detriment. And to the detriment of the underdeveloped world. It’s a wicked system. God damn it we’re foul.

Funny how you don’t see a connection between the establishment of the US and now.

Pelosi had some serious contempt for the younger generations. She gripped to power like a military junta. She definitely believed in seniority and made you adhere to the ruling class tradition. Fuck her.
