Thinking of the ineffectiveness of bureaucratic action in these areas, the inability of bureaucratic measures and institutions to protect people or to rehabilitate criminals, I am reminded of a poem by the Canadian poet George Pepki, inspired by the children's nursery rhyme ``Humpty-Dumpty'': Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. And what is the moral to this little rhyme?
L'inefficacité de l'action bureaucratique dans ces domaines et l'incapacité des mesures et des institutions bureaucratiques de protéger les gens ou de réadapter les criminels me font penser à un poème du poète canadien George Pepki, qui est inspiré de la comptine pour enfants, Humpty Dumpty, et qui dit ceci: Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a
great fall All the king's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty
together again And what is the moral to this
little rhyme A moral with ...[+++]meaning for men in our time The moral is this, and its lesson is true There certain things that the state cannot do If all the king's horses and all the king's men Cannot put an egg together again It is not a false hope, an illusion, a sin To ask civil servants to reconstruct men Une autre caractéristique de l'approche libérale face à la justice pénale, c'est son mépris croissant pour la volonté des gens.
