A time to kill
Letter to the editor;
The TV movie “High Noon” (not to be confused with the classic western of the same name) depicted a crazy man with a twisted personal agenda, holding hostages in a bank.
Eventually the SWAT snipers killed him, but only after the negotiator tried for a long time to coax him out.
To give the viewers reason to believe this murderous lunatic could be persuaded to surrender, the movie first covered some other hostage situations with varied results.
In the end, the police had to decide to take it upon themselves to kill this man before he would kill several innocent people he was holding at gunpoint.
This goes both ways: Evil government people (and there certainly are evil government people) can murder an individual of their choice and have the public applaud the killing as protecting public safety.
On the other hand, when the defenders of law and order have righteously killed a violent criminal, publishers and broadcasters can spin the story out until the public believes the bad guy was an innocent victim of corrupt and murderous police.

The basis of evil government
Letter to the editor;
In the beginning, Hashem created the heavens and the earth.
(For us who are not Jews; Hashem, or ha Shem, means The Name – of G-d.)
And Hashem created man in his own image.
And He gave them just that one Commandment about the forbidden fruit.
And the Yetzer Hara came among them and said, “Do it my way. You shall be like G-d, knowing good from evil.” (For the benefit of us Gentiles, the Yetzer Hara is your evil inclination.)
Adam already knew good from evil, as he already had that one Commandment.
But the Yetzer Hara had to pretend to have something to offer. Maybe he pretended to mean, “Do it my way and you can decide good and evil for yourselves.”
And then came to pass six thousand years of evil government by men and women who decided for themselves what was good and what was evil – and shoved it down the throats of everyone else by force and violence and mass-murder, backed by goon-squads.
Josef Stalin was an example of this. He murdered tens of millions of Russians, trying to establish government his way; the way of the Yetzer Hara. Other examples are Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan.
And the modern “Liberal,” has decided to do things his own way (the Yetzer Hara way). He believes that knowing good and evil means that he gets to decide for himself what is good and what is evil for the entire human race – and force it on us.
