Interesting view.

I am quite happy to grant them their wish to pursue their own happiness. And part of that happiness is a moment of realization to stand before the immeasurable, where no wife crosses our path, and no mother is there to comfort us, where only the reality reigns: tremendous and grand.

And the truth is: they were stupid, ignorant (ignoring the facts), deceived by their post hoc justifications, lack of insight, and frankly, unwillingness to consider other options, because they:

1. wanted to eat at McDonalds
2. wanted to travel
3. wanted to celebrate holidays
4. wanted to feel holy for making this sacrifice to protect the vulnerable.
5. reveled in their us vs them glory
6. weaklings who rather avoid confrontation than stand as a man or woman in their rights
7. willing to sacrifice their rights (Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness) for temporary safety.
8. Afraid to get into trouble.

The fact remains: they traded their rights to Life and Liberty for what? Trinckets in a hoax ....

So, yes, a lot of guidance to give, but in essence, to accept the consequence of what they themselves have put into motion = the man in the mirror.
