I'm not trying to hold you to any statements you've made, but you're discussing a topic that doesn't produce any provable statements. Dexter, like other cop shows, is not about justice, and that's probably what you think of it, too. For justice, go with god.
Yes, you are quite good at making absolute determinations about an entire concept simply because you see a single word with whatever connotation elicits an emotional personal reaction. "I have no expectation of control," is not the same thing as referring to ones own internal governor for their conduct. It is EXACTLY that same governor that tells me to keep my hand out of the fire. The control comes from within and is chosen by the individual. Contrast that with "what control does society have over the individual" question that metatron proposed.
I guess when one runs out of a valid, intellectual reason for attacking someone, they must resort taking out of context. You have the intelligence. That you are not consistent in its use diminishes the overall credibility of your posts.
