We are talking about good and evil. This is a human issue not an issue of
logic.  Of course my logic will be faulty. I wasn't using any!  I was
trying to let you see the HUMAN side of the issue.  I feel like I'm
talking to Spock or Data!  I wish you luck man, 'cause if you don't think
that killing a innocent old man for the sake of killing him is evil then
you worry me.  And if this is the kind of people we have living in the U.S.
it's no wonder we have Charles Mansons out there.
