Koan: "But what I am arguing is, that the sense of humanity must prevail for any thing else to be worth a cup of cold spit." A sense of humanity follows that human beings treat each other with decency, that violations of one to another be resolved in a fair and resolute manner so that human beings can reconcile their differences and move on while continuing to trust the system to respond accordingly. Your solution does not meet any standard of human decency, since it allows heinous criminals to continue causing harm and does not allow for closure. There are hundreds of examples: here are the first three that came to mind> ======================= Aileen Carol Wuornos 7+ murders: pleaded no contest to the murders of the other 5 men and was sentenced to death in each case. Within two weeks of her arrest, Wuornos and her attorney had sold movie rights to her story. Investigators in her case did likewise. The case resulted in several books and movies, and even one opera on the life of "America's first female serial killer." "I robbed them, and I killed them as cold as ice, and I would do it again, and I know I would kill another person because I've hated humans for a long time," Wuornos stated. =========================== Nathan Dunlap killed the teen workers at a Chuckee Cheeses where I used to take my daughter when she was a toddler. His cellmate reported Dunlap's account of the killings. Dunlap laughed and said, "It was better than sex." =========================== Dean Corll ran his mothers candy shop. In Houston, Texas between the years of 1970 and 1973. Along with two accomplices (Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks), Corll would abduct and torture young boys that were lured to his apartment, then murdering and burying them in the surrounding rural areas. Corll was shot and killed by Henley following a heated argument at Corll’s home.
