One of the first and most basic principles of our government is to provide a system of protection from harm. The constitution is drenched in language to support this principle.

Have you never been taught to be aware of harm that could be done and to oppose it? Do you intentionally harm others for your own gain, or do harm for your own pleasure and enjoyment? Has it gotten to the place where you see no harm in doing harm? Do you laugh about it and brag when you succeed at it? Have you suggested teaching children this is a sound moral principle to live by?

Consider this: We could be treating each other, and the earth with greater respect and compassion. We can increase kindness and decrease suffering if that is our guiding principle. But it is only when individuals band together on such a foundation that societies move in a particular direction.
