I may not know Troy Davis, but I don’t have to in order to care about him. I will never be able to hug him, watch him laugh, or see him cry, but I will stand in solidarity with him because he is a fellow human being who deserves life. Even if per chance he is guilty, and even if he did commit the act that is being accused of him, I would stand in solidarity with him because our humanities are tied to each other. I do not believe that killing a man will accomplish anything. I believe in grace, mercy, and reconciliation every time. People severely underestimate the power of transformational love, and I think it’s about time we start recovering the humanity that we’re quickly losing.
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory… Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God Bless! [sic] Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
