re: stop being such a friggin' hypocrite

Gee whiz, that sounded like a personal attack, trumped by a veiled vulgarity. <LOL> You did not say I was making a hypocritical statement, you called me a hypocrite. Whatsammata? You don't like me quoting your own book to discredit you?

It's been a while since I've had a go around with you, but I can't let this sentence of yours slide by here without comment...

It is the charge of the state to keep order and give wrath to those who are guilty.

It is precisely not the states charge to give "wrath" to those who are guilty (wrath n. 1. intense anger; rage; fury 2. any action carried out in great anger, esp. for punishment or vengeance - Websters Dictionary). The law in any civilized country is necessarily dispassionate and based upon reason, not heated emotion.
