@lerlo. You played an authoritarian-leaning single-issue devil’s advocate.

@yvilletom you mean because I'm right? You understand that each are done for completely different reasons right? That's the logic behind it--you may not agree with the logic but that's why the two scenarios are different and therefore not logically the same. Depends if you want sympathy or logic.

@lerlo Not because you are right, but because the logician ( or the critical thinker or the pragmatist ) differs little from the non-criminally-inclined psycho/sociopath. What’s that line from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice about mercy dropping as the gentle rain from Heaven?

@lerlo Postscript. I know Fountain Hills well. Also, I considered law school or commercial realty but chose early retirement.

@yvilletom What I played was someone answering what the logic would be in that meme, nothing more. I notice you didn't disagree with my answer just didn't like it .

@yvilletom Apparently you chose Yountville over Fountain Hills too

@lerlo In 1976, after four exciting years opposing the Central Az Project and after a car bomb killed the reporter Don Bolles ( see Wikipedia ), I chose a career change in SF over silence in Phx. After 20 glorious years retired in SF I chose the Veterans Home in Y’ville.

@yvilletom well there is certainly enough to oppose here--it's the idiot state. I worked with one of the investigators on the Bolles case. Try and enjoy life!
