man I really hate that "Tanked" show. Those guys just make tanks with no concern for the livestock they put in them. (if they do, it is neatly edited out of the show)
Interesting conversation here. And more information that leads me to realize that I am a socialist/humanist at heart and really should move out of the USA.
I think Justice is just a bastard stepchild to vengeance once you start talking about *violent crime.* (Matters of property, etc are obviously more straightforward to determine appropriate compensation, etc) There is no true justice that can be served for violent crime; no amount of jail time or hard labor or whatever can remove the physical and emotional scars left from violence. I do not envy judges or jurors when it comes to making decisions on such things.
Yes, it seems extravagant in some ways that we would worry about the health of a suspect/convict, but I feel that in order for our species to get ANYWHERE, we need to be more empathetic to others. If we (humans) treat Brevik badly, then doesn't that make us just as bad as he is? Doesn't that make his horrific actions seem to have less meaning? What I mean is that if, for example, we tortured him, then wouldn't that make the death of those 77 people be less horrific?
