Whomever spares the bad men harms (the rest of us)
Rome’s wisdom is written throughout our justice system, but we have forgotten it needs to be implemented to be effective.
We need t return to the values of the 20th century if we still have a hope of keeping our country, its values and our way of life.

#10 It was quaint back when the weirdness was confined to localized patches - Haight-Ashbury, Berkeley, Venice Beach, Oakland, San Francisco - but now the nuttiness has spread like mold and you can't get away from it.
