By refusing to make a decision on how to deal with the monsters that crop up in society from time to time, we perpetuate their reappearance.

Because we don't want the decision to be on our conscience, even privately, we tell our lawmakers to be lenient, to go easy. We tell ourselves that they are sick, that it's not their fault, that society failed them. Of course, when WE mess up,...well, the same thing has to apply doesn't it. It's not OUR fault either.

She should'nt be executed because she's sick and can't help it?

Then neither should we execute a rabid dog.
