It will take some recognition that if people are not expendable in the name of whatever you say they are not expendable for, then they aren't expendable for other principles too. I truly am sorry that all of the laws and processes are so imperfect and DO yield errors, but you and those who agree with you are NOT the SOLE determiners of who dies for what and when.
So, I guess that would begin with some recognition of what those dangerous probabilities, which your cohort appears to deny, are and then some ideas about what else there is that could reduce not only the likelihood that these things will happen, but also perhaps even reduce the dangerousness of those possible future events.
Or should all of us just wait until whatever happens, because everything is just fine when we get another political party? Do you KNOW if we have that kind of time?
It will take some kind of recognition of something like the U.N., or the World Court, somekind of recognition of that necessity beyond "Big Brother & the New World Order" or other than "The U.N. is corrupted by bankers". More or less true I'm sure, but that is beside the point of HOW do we do something about dangers, whether you and those who agree with you recognize them or not. And if you are willing to choose that risk, what about the rights of others who consciously do not make that choice? Why aren't their rights respected as much as yours?
I recognize all of the risks to my perspective on this. Do you admit the risks to yours? Why are your risks more PC than mine?
