Enjoyed the article.

Lacking sufficient critical thinking, and thus the ability to understand the plight of others, and as a consequence of a fear of losing advantages perceived to be offered only in the status quo, an entrenched few will allow and perpetuate the suffering of hundreds, or even millions.  Only through the pressure of a few determined individuals who protest and endure extreme suffering, will the abusing structure of power and wealth be brought to its knees.

We see subtle abuse and sufferings to many, even locally ... in the courts ... the government ... the police ... the jails ...  anywhere where temporary power exists via society's attempt to provide a stabilizing force.  Adding to the momentum of absurdities -- encouraged by the abuse perpetrated by those above them -- is the damning effects of the bureaucratic mediocrities who, by their indifference to those beneath them, too often make decisions contrary to good sense and desired fundamental objectives.

Occasionally ... ideally ... perhaps once every five years -- to remind everyone of this unfortunate human dynamic causing the sufferings, and even death in some cases -- it would be refreshing and quite beneficial to society to have, after proper court sentencing of course, an execution of a local individual, otherwise thought to be respectable, found to be responsible for the most abuse of this strange temporary power residing in the habits of those who exhibit the lack of compassion and concern for others as a consequence of the mind dulling drugs called wealth and power ...   and even a consequence of excessive comfort at the expense of the suffering and survival of others.

The problem of the above "selection for execution" is that the guilty come in groups ... cliques ... swarms of insensitive elites, and therefore they are protected in their anonymity, isolated ... safe in their guilt.  So the subtle abuse and sufferings to minorities, to the otherwise unfortunate ... to those who cannot find jobs because there are none ... to those who, by the neglect of solving the "crime problem" in a sensible way ...  continue to endure a life of overwhelming stress, and sometimes endure a life in and out of the system of increasingly profitable jails and prisons.
