16. Wouldn't it be better for society

to make sure the very rare sociopath be kept where (s)he can do no harm?

But treated humanly?

Vengeance, hatred, objectifying, executions, torturing the people who've (allegedly) transgressed -- all of these things do more harm to the general society than to the folks society treats in this manner.

Do Unto Others as you Would Have Done On You is not only a good rule for life but would be the best base upon which to create an actually effective "criminal justice system"...

We aren't even close in barbaric USAmerica...
