But it comes down to somebody's judgement. And so many have been shown

Okay. So you mean it. It wasn't an evasion, I never have nor ever will deny

Excuses, Art? They're reasons. You expressed apparent disbelief that I could
be prepared to take the law into my own hands. I've given you some reasons.
I could write reams on it. I can understand why you should disagree with me,
but not why you should fail to appreciate I've given reasons. There are many
people in the world who feel approximately as I do. There are many officers
of the law who would understand. These are the kind of reasons argued about
in Philosophy classes. Sure, people end up disagreeing - hopefully
amicably - if not they don't belong in a philosophy class!

The reason I do not take the law into my own hands as a matter of course is
because I'm educated. I'm considerate enough not to do always exactly as I
want, rather than what's for the good of the nation, or humanity in general.
I have thought very deeply on matters of Law, of Civilisation.

But I'll say this to your president, our prime minister, our queen, kofi
anan, nelson mandela, the local chief of police, whoever - and you can tell
them where to look if you want: if someone hurts a member of my family, I
will hurt that someone considerably more.

I do not expect them to agree but I do expect them to understand, perhaps
even some grudging respect. If I don't get it, fine.

Thanks, Art. Getting treatment for DVT now. Seems I almost died, though it
feels like just another day to me!
