The word you made up is a good one. The description of their vision is not. And also I think you may be conflating the "feral people" with those who simply don't know any better and would appreciate some help. There are good people who spoke a completely different language than you did, when you were learning to be the man you are.

Yes, I am a dreamer and I hope to never be convinced to give up hope. on the humans. Plus, the alternative is deciding who is exterminated and who gets to stay.

And for the record, I am not completely Pollyanna. Yes, there are "feral people" who will not play nice with others regardless of the resources we expend. And then we are left with the question.....

Does it not make sense to find an alternative to prisons, for those who can be taught our 'way?' Once they get going, they seem to do fine. Lots of them actually do respond to education/training. This is considerably less expensive (to taxpayers and to society) than prisons. And so.....how much are we willing to spend to keep our streets safe? Build more prisons? Make the laws tougher (this seems to be not working)? Educate/train?

So.....what is your solution then, as one who falls into the "former" category? Build more prisons and stage more executions? 10K? 1M? (Yosemite Sam emoji goes here)
