Have you set a mouse trap? Is that premeditated murder? Have you swatted a fly before? Is that murder in the heat of the moment? Have you had an abortion? Is that a legal form of murder? Do you know anyone in the military, all trained to kill?
I know one day I had to drive home during my lunch break. As I got into the car, I noticed a wasp perched on the driver's side mirror. As I picked up speed, that little bastard clung on the mirror. I sped up, trying to make the gust of wind so strong he would be flung to the road, surely to die upon impact. The fast I drove, the more I could see him strain to keep his grip, in tune with the natural instinct to fight for life. I pulled into my driveway, amazed that A) I had managed to keep the car on the road while so obsessed with my insect rage and B) That wasp had managed to hang on and survive. I saw him put his pointer and middle fingers up in the air then he pointed to his eyes and then to mine...he let me know he knew who I was and he'd be back to avenge the murder attempt on his life. I slept with one eye open that night waiting for the gang of wasps to ascend the stairs and make me pay for my insect rage.
Do you feel bad when you end the life of a bug? Isn't that taking a life? As you are dining on steak, do you not somewhat feel like the Hannibal Lechter of the cow community? We hand out permits every year to allow people to seek and hunt and kill innocent deer, turkeys and rabbits. I don't even want to hear about how we save the deer from disease or overpopulation. Next we will be allowed to each murder 2 people in order to cut back on the population and disease in humans.
On September 11th, 2001 the United States was under attack initiated by terrorists from Afghanistan. We were horrified that their militia invaded our country and killed thousands of innocent citizens. So to make it right, we invaded their country and killed thousands of innocent citizens as well as thousands of our troops. Sorry, but I still can't see the sense in war. It's wrong to kill so in order to make you see how wrong it is, I am going to kill you? Hellllooo hypocrites!
I mean honestly, if you want to punish them the right way, put them in jail cells that only get Nascar races on their TV's. Hello idea of personal hell.
If the military is going to play the eye for an eye card, I think all crimes should be punishable by those means. If you molest someone, you should be molested. If you beat a child to death, you should be beaten to death. If you set someone on fire, you should be set on fire. Do unto others as you would want done upon yourself. Shouldn't it be the same rules across the board?
If you were to give birth and abandon that child and that child were to die, it would be murder. However if the day before you gave birth you went into a clinic and had the doctor perform an abortion, it is within your legal rights. Yes, I can completely make sense of that. They say life begins at first breath, but if you were to give birth to a stillborn baby you would receive a death certificate. In order for any being to experience death, they would first have to experience life. These are the thoughts that keep me awake at night.
