- LLWM 12y agoNormal people graduate from college with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. Normal people are unhealthily obese. Normal people go bankrupt from unexpected medical expenses. Is it your aspiration in life to be normal?
- supdog 12y agoIf you mean to ask me what my aspiration in life is, you might be interested to know that many of my heros were felons. Jesus, Gandhi, John Bunyan,... Peaceful agribuisnessman Joel Salatin said it this way, "Everything I want to do is illegal" http://www.amazon.com/Everything-Want-To-Do-Illegal/dp/0963810952 http://www.amazon.com/Everything-Want-To-Do-Illegal/dp/09638...
- LLWM 12y agoNo, I don't, and no, I'm not.
- kaishiro 12y agoYeah, I'm also somewhat perplexed by what point you're trying to get across here. You're saying that you agree that normal people commit felonies, so the answer is to "not be normal"? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks.
- LLWM 12y agoYes. I don't find "most people do it" to be a convincing excuse for personal flaws.
- supdog 12y agoWould you find that "most people commit felonies (without harm)" to be convincing evidence of policy flaws?
- LLWM 12y agoThat claim is logically impossible. If most people were committing felonies without harm, that would lend plausible deniability to harmful felons, thus indirectly causing harm.
- supdog 12y agoOr the claim is highly probable, if bad policy was systemically painting peaceful people as felons. If so, what then is the root cause of the harm?
