The action ... the judge read his newspaper. I never imagined that criminal court would come to a stand still, where the judge would be reading a newspaper.

Huntington points out the following examples as evidence of the moral decline of the West: 1. An increase in crime, drug use, and violence. 2.

- 1955: The Character Of Macbeth
- ... solicitings cannot be evil, cannot be good." Still, he is provided with so much natural good that he is able to control the apprehensions of his inordinate imagination and decides to take no step involving crime. His autonomous decision not to commit murder, however, is not in any sense based upon moral grounds. No doubt he normally shrinks from the unnaturalness of regicide; but he so far ignores ultimate ends that ... his roof-we may even say that the consequences which he fears are not at all inward and spiritual, It is to be doubted whether he has ever so far considered the possible effects of crime and evil upon the human soul-his later discovery of horrible ravages produced by evil in his own spirit constitutes part of the tragedy. Hi is mainly concerned, as we might expect, with consequences involving ...
- 1956: The Misconception of The Death Penalty
- ... is substantially lower than 50 years ago. This decline creates a situation in which the death penalty ceases to be a deterrent when the populace begins to think that one can get away with a crime and go unpunished. The key part of the death penalty is that it involves death - something which is rather permanent for humans, due to the concept of mortality. This creates a major problem when there ... usually are not the best attorneys and usually fail to present an equal case when compared to more expensive lawyers. When you compare this to the prosecution, aided by the police, other law enforcement agencies, crime labs, state mental hospitals, various other scientific resources, prosecutors experienced in successfully handling capital cases, compulsory process, and grand juries, the defense that the court appointed counsel can offer is puny. If, in fact, a ...

- 1958: Gun Control In The United States
- ... to think criminals will adhere to gun control laws. There just may be an underlying motive for gun control. After all, people would be easier to control if they were defenseless.

- 1959: Reservoir Dogs
- ... be a little confusing. The movie on the whole was really great. It was filled with some pretty gory scenes and extreme violent content, Tarantinos' trademark.
