Death Penalty

How does an entire society take responsibility for creating as many people with as many behavioral problems as this one has?

Perhaps we all should look more deeply at the society that produces the kinds of crimes ours does(not looking at anything but our own values and morality).
Children molested by familiar family members;domestic crimes against women;homicides; sexual abuse by the young,drug related crimes....
What we have here is a failure of a much larger proportion than we face.
It's easier to look at single issues rather than face our own value system that produces the need for police budgets to always rise and death penalty sentances.
Could it be that as a nation, we really are dysfunctional because we live in such denial regarding what our nation is doing to its own youth, its own environment, its own citizens?
We , unlike the animals we consider lowly, learn backwards, through an inverted telescope.

We have burgeoning prisons and hospitals, ALL connected to the same simple issue of nourishment both of thought, that produces behavior.

When the fetus is poisoned by contaminants of up to 80,000 synthetic substances, and citizens ( and medicine ) are ignorant and uneducated regarding the connection between nutrients and brain function, we end up where we are.... It is destiny, or, the law of cause and effect.

Killing people who kill people is an unethical, amoral behavior that kills our chance of changing society at large by changing what produces such crimes.

READ Barbara Reed Stitt's book, Food and Behavior. It matters.
