I agree that something should be done if someone is a serial killer or whatever. I just don't agree that death or prison is the best solution and as I've said before this world does not have the best solution. That said, I will say two things...first, there are those of us who see things as we must let the light have a chance and there are those of us who see things as we cannot let the dark continue to wander. Niether is entierly all good and I see both as being equal, just different. One is not the better view. Second, there are such horrible things like unto what goes on in middle earth because it is a reflection of ourselves. I will leave you with this thought...there have been those who have chosen not to use force/fear/anger/death/whatever to solve the world's problems. They were not entirely successful and in fact some of them died at the hands of those they let free and opened their love to. When in their dying moments they forgave that person this world and many of it's people's lives were changed forever. From every experience, no matter how dark, there will come a ray of light and without these experiences, we could not grow and learn...we would just simply exist. Not that I'm saying go out and set all the people on death row free, but just some food for thought about how you (me) see the world around you.
