Rehabilitation

I am a forward thinking person. I am tired of old thinking. I am tired of people telling me what to do and how to dress and what to think. I am tired of people talking about what's right and what's wrong. Who are you to tell me what is right and what is wrong? That is all subjective territory. The only way to judge that is through personal, internal criteria. And since we've learned that Right and Wrong are subjective and vastly different from person to person, of course, we have become more Multicultural and Diverse and grown intellectually, not to mention that we have less wars and people eat healthier and we are more Aware and Tolerant and better off generally.

Death row is a miserable place, full of sorrow and pain, and I am tired of people being taught not to kill by being put there. We even kill people to show them that killing is wrong. How in the world are we ever going to give someone a chance to not kill if we kill them after they have only killed three or four people? Human life is very important, and we cannot take a human life just because that life took a few other lives. What a contradiction!

What we need to do is have special jails where people are put if they have killed someone due to a chemical imbalance or a psychological condition, which is very seldom their fault. These special jails would be separate from the regular jails that house people who have done something they know is wrong, such as Hate Crimes, Intolerance, Gay-Bashing, Protesting at a Termination Clinic, and other horrible things like that.

People who are not to blame for their murderous instincts should not be killed just to make the relatives of the dead people they killed feel better. You probably know already, but killing someone does not make a situation more just. We can raise taxes, if we need to, to support people in special prisons who have killed other people due to chemical imbalances and psychological conditions. Thank God for psychologists who have worked so hard ever since William James to help us basically understand that we need to be more sensitive to people who have taken another life. I'm sure they must be just devastated about what's happened. There is probably enough horror for them just knowing and living with what they have done. Killing them doesn't really solve anything. Science tells us that people cannot be held responsible for what they do sometimes, and I know Science is right because Science helped us prove that there is no God and that we are products of by-products and random matter.

We need to rehabilitate mass murderers and serial killers and give them a chance to learn from their mistakes. We need to help them see that killing people is not the answer. We need to be more forgiving to them so that they can learn from us about humanity and how to be more humanistic.

There is a man right now who has been sentenced to death because he raped a nine-year-old boy and an eleven-year-old girl and their mother, and after he raped them, he killed them, and then he killed their father. Do you think that man knows right from wrong? And are we supposed to kill him because he doesn't know right from wrong? We are supposed to help him rehabilitate. The man needs a chance to learn from his mistakes.

There is no one more vicious than a person who wants to kill a killer, not even the killer.
