You know, what I wanted to say that you're taking it from the wrong side of the story. Wich they did too, in their frenzy.
You are/want to be Zen, right?
Then you have to see these things from a certain distance to act correctly.
No, I would give them the chance to live under their own steam away from the rest of society, if they were unable to do so, or unwilling to do so, then nature would take its course. It also means that no one else has to deal with the mental impact of taking another life. Its cold, I know, but it at least gives them a far greater chance of living out the rest of their lives in such a way that doesn't cost us anything and doesn't effect us after the fact. The minefields are there to maintain their exile, nothing more.
It offers them a chance, which is much more then many of them ever gave their victims. I'm not saying its perfect, but it would be very effective.
they are unable to apreciate true beauty.
The major part of the world is unable to appreciate true beauty.
I pity myself more about that than I pity them (considering their louthmouthedness), they live quite happy in their ignorance it seems...[/quote]
Ignorance kills, and depending on how powerfull the ignorant are how many are killed by it.
