McVeigh's wishes are irrelevant. However, our system of justice is not based on knee-jerk emotions. Justice needs to remain blind to the desires of the convicted and be carried out according to the law. The only thing not going up at the same rate as gas and electric prices is what people earn. It used to be that when people got jobs at companies, they worked until retirement.
People now work for less money and time alloted on jobs.
These elements lead to more domestic violence, theft, drug abuse, alcoholism and anger because there is that fear of not making tomorrow's ends meet. People are losing hope. America is supposed to be the land of opportunity, but it is getting harder and harder to achieve the American dream. The American dream is not about everyone becoming a millionaire, but just making a decent living without the constant threat of downsizing, reduced wages and benefits and plant closings. The American dream truly needs to be replenished.
