A short point being, what false belief system are they trying to protect?

I like Capital Punishment.  But not when it is really a facade to protect a false belief system.

Capital Punishment should be established to protect inalienable rights!  Not to prevent inalienable rights.

Some of the reasons for Capital Punishment that China did away with I liked.   For example forced prostitution.  Why would they change the rules like they did to make it legal?  What does it really tell the world what they think about people?

Did you ever ask that question?  What does a political in party's stance tell you about what they really think about people?  A person the same as a pet dog to them? Doesn't say much about yourself when you believe something like that.  A belief really being a true expression of oneself?  Someones belief sometimes being just a 'limited' idea?

Interesting term? A "limited idea."  Meaning if you were to go ahead and fully develop the idea somehow you know you wouldn't like it, hence such a person limits there thinking on ideas?

In order to avoid that panic sticken wide eyed Lucy moment of guilt and regret?  Those intent on avoiding that moment via the above construct are most subjected to it?
