What do they be teaching the young these days? I declare, they think more on machines and formulas than they do on the true knowledge of the world. They blow things up, and call it progress. They kills one another by the million, and calls it civilization.. But you takes a single life, just one, and that is murder most foul, and they will pin you for that, and lay it against you the rest of your life. It hardly seems fair. Paul Kearney

But you takes a single life, just one, and that is murder most foul, and they will pin you for that, and lay it against you the rest of your life." Some would argue that this quote is harsh.

However, if we are to look at the quote throught he eyes of its author, then we can see that sentiment was justice. It holds justice to those who kill with no thought to the person murdered or their family.
