Why is it, whenever there is a great leader, someone who is intelligent, well spoken, and progressive, they get assassinated. Gandhi, MLK, JFK, Lincoln, the list goes on.
Conversely, whenever there is a total dipshit who pisses on your civil liberties, lies, cheats, steals, and lies about all three of those, they are allowed to live.
Where are the lone fucking gunmen? Anyone? Why do humans always kill people who are trying to help their fellow humans and pass over those who hold them back?
I will post lyrics I feel speak louder than I can:
Quote:
NOFX - The Man I Killed
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
He was gone, and I would soon be...
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be,
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
A minor threat except for that one man I killed.
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asked me if I realized,
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario,
And what I did had no significance at all.
