Politics suck --
Politics suck objectivity out and insert irrationality in
Nobody else has the answer for you. You'll have to do your own rational thinking to figure it out for yourself -- or don't.
Mistakes happen.
Sometimes a small error will be compounded over and over until it becomes a massive problem.
In mid-term and presidential elections tens-of-millions of people vote for the lesser of evils despite the fact that it still begets evil. How can so many people thinking they're right be so wrong?
"We have enormous protections, the best by far, but we're never going to have a system that will never execute an innocent person."
-- Statement of Chairperson of the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee made while supporting the death penalty in 1997.
How many innocent prisoners on death row have been executed? To any person that would imply that it's "collateral damage" I ask: what if it was you, your spouse or one of your children that was "collateral damage" put to death for a crime they didn't commit?
More than 75 men and women have been released from US death rows since 1972 -- Figures from Death Penalty Information Center, Washington DC
We're all collateral damage of "higher authorities" that figured it all out for us. Reality is, each individual is the higher authority.

War of Two Worlds
Value Creators versus Value Destroyers
The first thing civilization must have is business, science and art. It's what the individual and family needs so that its members can live creative, prosperous, happy lives. Business, science and art can survive, even thrive without government and its bureaucracy.
Government and its bureaucracy cannot survive without business and science. In general, business, science and the individual and family is the host and government and bureaucracy are parasites.
Keep valid government services that protect individual rights and private property rights while upholding the sanctity of private contracts -- military defense, FBI, CIA, police and courts. With the rest of government striped away those few valid services would be several fold more efficient and effective than they are today.
Underwriters Laboratory is a private sector business that has to compete in a relatively free market. Underwriters laboratory is a good example of success where government fails.
Any government agency that is a value to people and society -- there are a few -- could much more effectively serve people and society by being in the private sector where competition demands maximum performance.
Wake up! They're parasites. We're their host. We don't need them. They need us.
You're the host. You don't need them -- they need you.
It's your life. Make them meet your terms and become a value creator or let them chose to perish.
