      Reading letters and things from hundreds of years ago when they hanged and gibbeted pirates on the streets of towns tells me I’d rather them be hanged far away from town so they don’t stink up the place.

      So if I get married and move into a new house and we now have two incomes, so we decide to rent the old house instead of selling it… the answer is death by hanging? For both of us? Kids too? My parents helped me buy the first house… they culpable as well?

        Isn’t it though? Was slavery ended by debate? Did Lincoln send a strongly worded letter to the president of the CSA that tore at his heart strings and made him see the humanity in his slaves? How about the Gilded Age? The unions sat the bosses down and laid out the facts and the oligarchs of the day just let us have the 8hr day, 40hr week, weekends, pensions. All out of the goodness of their hearts.

        Some people just need killing. That’s all there is to it. I’m American. I know how we’re propagandized from the age of comprehension into believing that violence is never the answer. But that’s all it was. Propaganda. It took murder to make United Healthcare provide the service they exist to provide. And it didn’t last 6 months. At that point more murder was necessary but nobody stepped forward.

          All of these things you mention weren’t solved by people running out on to the streets and getting their rocks off lynching the first offending party they met, no.
