In anger and pain, he lashed out at someone who was not responsible, in any way, for the evil act of another, and now he decries the consequences. Would he sue the hardware store if his daughter had been killed with a hammer? ...a sporting goods shop if she'd been beaten with a baseball bat?
Emotional pain is a good motivator for action, but the action must be logical, rational, and just. Justice is never served by allocating responsibility for evil acts to the innocent. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
