In the larger context. what spiritual damage have we done to ourselves. our civilized society. and to the hope for peace and civil order within and among nations. if we backtrack to the ancient savagery of judicial murder in our system of criminal justice? We live in a world that has made enormous technological and scientific advancements. but that is still being drawn. as in medieval times. to the vortex of the blood bath of violence. We look around the world and we see an unending kaleidoscope of violenceassassinations. insurgencies. insurrections. coups. juntas. dictators. suppression. jailings and executions of political dissidents. homeless refugees by the millions. innocent civilian casualties. people condemned by violence to starvation. people in our own country suffering the violence of neglect and discrimination. Is it not possible for us. as the inheritors from our Founding Fathers of a nation of high moral purpose. to rise above the failures and savagery of the past by asserting leadership along humanitarian lines? I deeply believe that it is possible.
