Don't say "but..."

I'm sure there are many people who deserve to be murdered, if we wanted to be a society like that. People say, "I disapprove of murder, but ..." [some justification of the murder]. The but takes away the initial statement. It's like saying, "I'm not sexist, but those women, you know..."  

Once you say it's fine to murder the CEO of a health insurance company, then you could murder archbishops who have covered up child sexual abuse. They are also evil. Then you could draw up lists of other names, and categories of people. 

I've been against the death penalty for many years, because the state sanctioning of killing is pernicious in multiple ways, which you probably know about if you have thought about and researched this issue. Random vigilante killing is something that is thankfully quite rare. It is also pernicious. 

Politicians preserve a badly organized health care insurance system. Those who vote for those politicians are to blame for that. So we are collectively to blame. I'm sure I am the part owner of corrupt corporations, as well.
