#2 Nix that. Couldn't sleep. Must have known I mistook the Golden Rule.

Golden Rule: Do unto others what you want to be done unto you.

Better: Do unto others as they do unto you. (Works for me.)

Best: The Real Golden Rule: Do unto others before they do unto you.

#4 The Golden Rule works both ways, it also applies when the other person is a Murderous Asshole, then by the Golden rule that must be the way HE wants to be treated.
So follow the Golden Rule and kill him.

#5 I think the problem is not in the Geneva Conventions, but in the asshats who THINK they know what's in the Geneva Conventions, or who SAY that their interpretations of the Geneva conventions ARE the Geneva conventions. The GC is inadequate in that it does not explicilty state what constitutes a violation that would free a signatory, making it a suicide pact in the hands of the left and the international glitterati and perveratti. I hear that the most recent addition proposed to the GC explicility FORBIDS retaliation for FAILURE to meet the GC requirments. We didn't sign it, and should propose an explicit "Going Roman" escape clause. It will be opposed, of course, but only by those without integrity who wish to bind those with integrity BY their integrity.
