I grew up an only child with a much older parent . . . (for those of you that have an inkling about developmental theory that will mean something to you lol).
So I grew up pretty conservative. The conservative viewpoint (socially) tends to view the world in black and white . . .
As I got older I began to discern that there is a shit-load of gray out there.
Most people just get more conservative. Some people start looking around more . . .
Anyway:
The ethical issue.
The government should probably not be in the business of killing its own citizens. There lies a slippery sloap. What else can they kill for? We already see our rights slipping away over the terrorist issue.
A more personal note: I understand the passion of personal injury... so I have a lot of sympathy for the vigilante. But that doesn't mean that State-Sponsored killing of American Citizens is a good idea.
Second: Why is an argument against children so much more terrible or such a rallying cry? Isn't it equally horrible if a house-wife is sodomized and killed? I think so . . or is only children being killed that y'all worry about?
