Lethal Injection Under Fire Again

[Occhidiangela]

There's quote from Frank Herbert's Children of Dune "The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery." When you give your life over to machines,  The government is an machine-like entity with no individual property. When something becomes perceived as non specific as everyone's responsibility, it become's no one's responsibility. The sense of personal responsibility and initiative becomes so diluted it soon become no one's. "It's not your responsibility." Given lack of responsibility in a non specific (public) state control, property in question suddenly becomes subject to the whim of whoever has current power over it, to be vandalized, mistreated, stolen, or misused.

The government is not a parent. It does not take action with the child's interests in mind. The goverment is not designed for that, and if we enable that power, those powers will be taken with the state's interest in mind, not the child's.
