I would like everyone to take some time out of their day today and watch the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Drumhead".
Listen to it carefully.
Then take at least half an hour and look in the mirror. Look at your belief system and actions. Are you that judge?

If your knee-jerk reaction is "no, I can't be because I'm in the right", remember that she thought so too. Watch it again.

Are you making the same arguments? Using the same tactics?

"But mine is a righteous cause!" She thought that too

Listen to Picard. Then look at yourself.

"But I'm trying to help people! Protect people!" So was she.

If this thread offends you, you need to watch that episode more than most. Because if this offends you, then on some level you think this is directed at you.

45 min to watch, plus 30 min honest reflection. All I ask
