chosen.content: While McVeigh was wrong to use violence as a means to an end, his ideas were not entirely incorrect. The federal government has a large scope of regulatory oversight that has the potential to intrude too far into individual lives, however there are necessary regulations needed to ensure a certain level of public safety. It is important to strike a balance between individual liberties and the needs of the public.

rejected.content: I agree that the federal government intrudes far too much into our lives, however, Timothy McVeigh's method for expressing his beliefs was wrong and ultimately resulted in the deaths of 168 people. We can hold onto our political, ethical and moral beliefs, but we need to find ways to do so peacefully. McVeigh could have raised awareness on the issues he felt were important in a nonviolent manner and tried to seek change through legal measures, such as voting or campaigning. He chose instead to engage in criminal activities, which resulted in unspeakable loss of life. It goes to show that violent activities cannot be condoned, regardless of our political and ethical views.
