My wife, who is not an American (yet), is starting to get it. She has to hear me bitch and moan about the state of the country, but it was the rampant degeneracy aimed at kids that got her attention.

She doesn't look at me like I'm crazy anymore when I say "the only logical endpoint of all this is public executions. I don't know who and I don't know when, but it's going to happen somewhere at some time."

And, honestly, despite the gnashing of teeth that will inevitably come in response to that -- I be it will be more effective at discouraging future offenders than a lot of methods previously attempted.
