"Anything that is right for a group to do is right for one person to do." That one was too slippery for me to answer so I tried simply pleading with him and he got sore. "Maybe you would rather be in the cage with JojoW'
"Well ... no." -
"Then shut up about it. Look, Pod, I planned all this out when she had me in that tank, trying to beat my ears in, make me deaI kept my sanity by ignoring what was being done to me and concentrating on when and how I would blow her to bits."
I wondered if he had indeed kept his sanity but I kept my doubts to myself and shut up. Besides I'm not sure that he's wrong; it may be that I'm just squeamish about blood-shed. "Anything that is moral for a group to do is moral for one person to do." There must be a flaw in that, since I've always been taught that it is wrong to take the law in your own hands. But I can't find the- flaw and it sounds axiomatic, selfevident. Switch it, around. If something is wrong for one person to do, can it possibly be made right by having a lot of people (a government) agree to do it together? Even unanimously?
If a thing is wrong, it is wrong-and vox populi can't change it.
