Sure buddy live in your polluted idea of being a "good person" . The value of life is relative... To not grasp this as normally being different for every person is just a matter of intelligence. Politicians are 90% the most worthless beings on this planet. I don't think you comprehend the extent of corruption in this country... In the USA corruption runs politics and at the same time robs all people of a large portion of choice.
You tell me you would not gladly kill someone to save your... I say this makes there something wrong with you.
You can not say someone "plays the game of politics like a pro" and then right after say "in no way was she corrupted..." That IS the game sir.
You say I underestimate the corruption of politics, but, on the contrary, it is you who made an underestimation not me. I understand how corrupt politics is, and I'm probably at least as disillusioned as you are about it. In fact, corruption does not only extend to making rank in government positions (though it's most heavily concentrated there). I have witnessed it in the academic world as well. I also understand that Laguerta is very politically corrupt, and entrenched in that system (I didn't claim she wasn't). I should mention, however, that it's more often the infrastructure of the institution pushing people towards political corruption than their own predisposition with coming to government (or other establishment). In that effect, I consider political corruption among its constituents as them succumbing to one of many human flaws that are evident in everyone every day.
What you underestimated is the extremeness of a claim that someone "deserves to die". That's a very drastic and sadistic claim to make, either by someone who completely overlooks how serious death is, or is just inherently cruel. It's even further fucked up to say that someone should be criticized for being psychologically damaged after killing someone, even if that someone
was politically corrupt. It's one thing to claim an understanding and emphasize the degree of corruption of our political infrastructure and the people who make it up. It's an entirely different twisted leap in reasoning to say that any of them deserve to die. Also Debrah didn't have to kill either of them (despite Laguerta incessantly and frustratingly yelling "shoot him!") She could have kept Dexter in control under gunpoint and called for backup to have him arrested. The unavoidable fact is, she chose to kill an innocent person in order to let a serial killer go free and it's very understandable that she is in mental shambles over having made that choice (even if it was her brother).
