I think that phrase is used a little more freely than it should be. It is wrong to imprison people against their will; yet we do it because those people do/will do wrong things. Two wrongs don't make a right in that case either, but we feel the second wrong is justified because of the first.
- tjoff 7y agoIt's not wrong to imprison people against their will. It's part of the societal contract. Not imprisoning someone when you should is, however, wrong.
- benjaminbrodie 7y agoif, instead of saying "is, however, wrong" you say "is wrong, however" you can save a comma. Just some LFP offered in a kindly spirit.
