Lethal Injection Under Fire Again

[Occhidiangela]

Poor choice of words.  I didn't intend to convey that there aren't many cases of abuse; rather, I wanted to note that, as isolated anecdotes, particular cases of abuse can quite easily be used to incite public outrage in lieu of a more moderate and considered response in light of consideration of the system and its effects as a whole.

Oh, like Rodney King? Like Willie Horton? *muffled guffaw into hand*

Thanks for the links to the school program. It looks in structure and intent to be a program similar to what the Spanish attempted to implement here in Texas, with little success, in Mexico and California, with some success, and elsewhere with mixed results. The Crusader spirit from the reconquista carried over powerfully in El Nuevo Mundo, and in Nueva España. The successor system, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, had a less than spotless record, here in the Lower Forty Eight, in discharging their charter. We seem to have that in common! (What was I saying to Jester the other day? Sucks to be conquered. ;) )

No system, however well intentioned, is going to produce a beneficial result if it is administered without integrity. This includes the school program you mentioned, and welfare programs in general.

QED

Thanks for again helping me make a point. :D
