“These acts are the acts of a man, they cannot be abstracted from the man, a particular act of murder is the act of a man, and if the act is condemned, the man has to be condemned, and there cannot be any objectifying of the act as though it were something that exists apart form a person. You cannot take an act of murder and execute it, but you can execute the murderer.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
