Private
They concern me but they aren't my fault. People can be poor and still be hardworking and decent and respectable. They're the ones who deserve our support. I know very well what power is. Those who have it need to exercise it responsibly. They're judged by the community if they don't.
Of course I'm better than an animal. So are you, whether you're polite or not. All I meant by 'same ideas' was that they like to dress practically and don't wear petticoats or care about keeping their waists slender.
I think it's better than the muggle way, at least. Of course we'd rather nobody was punished at all, but that isn't how things work. Pirates are supposed to obey their captains too, aren't they? There are still hangings in London all the time. I don't know if any of them are of pirates. When wizards need to execute someone they do it inside the prison and use a killing curse, mostly. Dementors are worse but I shouldn't write about
What if other people decided that you don't need what you have, and took it from you because you had more than they did? Would you accept that?
