Opinion | Distinguished persons of the week: Justice, Justice, shall you pursue, and on 8-8-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:
In the last paragraph of James Q. Wilson's book "Thinking About Crime", he wrote thus:
"Wicked people exist. Nothing avails except to set them apart from innocent people. And many people, neither wicked nor innocent, but watchful, dissembling, and calculating of their opportunities, ponder our reaction to wickedness as a cue to what they might profitably do. We have trifled with the wicked, made sport of the innocent, and encouraged the calculators. Justice suffers, and so do we all."
I believe our country is at a crossroad of giving dignity back to our sense of community, security, and justice. All it takes is for a few good people to no longer remain silent. Liz Cheney has started down that path and deserves our respect and the inspiration it represents. Come on US of A, you can do this.
