The European Union, that bastion of civility and culture, is upset with our United States once again. A rabid dog was put down last night, but in their wisdom the EU has decreed such an act as immoral, an outrage, and whatever else they could think to say that made them sound ever so high and mighty. They're just so much better over there, donchya know, with all their cerebral superiority.
These Yankee ears heard the voices of royalty talking down to the hoi polloi, looking down their regal noses at the scum of the earth that populates America. Like a literary agent's rejection, the MEPs heard America's response in a very loud silence. Blather all you like, our country implies, but we're not listening. When everyday Americans seek solace on your highly cultured shores, we might pay some heed. For now, we're dealing with a big immigration dilemma. Your citizens keep trying to come here, oddly enough, so maybe that worker's paradise that is Europe isn't such a heavenly vision after all.
Julen Dray, speaking for the Socialist Party in France, claimed that "Schwarzenegger has a lot of muscles, but apparently not much heart." Being the most glorious nation that every existed, France abolished the death penalty twenty years ago, setting an example that we all should follow. After all, we follow the fashion trends out of Paris. Why not let our betters also set the trend for the way we live as well? To each according to his needs must mean that it's okay to take someone's life if you need the cash that they worked hard to earn. Maybe if I brushed up on Marxist/Leninist theory I could understand the reasoning. There sure isn't any logic behind the thought.
Some people are so dangerous, so vicious, that society eliminates them. Talk to cops, talk to prison wardens, and you'll hear the same thing. Just because a brutal murderer finds redemption and salvation in prison does not mean a thing. A psychopath is a psychopath.
