I would want to, but rather than ending life, I would try to limit damage by warning people, getting as many out of the way as possible, or trying to change the dictator if possible. It's not nobility of character that makes me not want to kill the person. I am simply afraid of making things worse. We always assume that the world would have been a better place if not for... (you fill in the evil dictator). What if that is not the case? What if their level of evil prevented something even more catastrophic/devastating from taking place in the future. I simply don't believe I have the wisdom to mettle in the affairs meant to be decided only by the Divine. --- On Wed, 10/7/09, Mr. Worf <hellomahog...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Mr. Worf <hellomahog...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] This week on House To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 7:31 PM Let's make it a little easier to make the decision.

And, to answer, I don't think I could. I'm racking my brain right now, to find a scenario that would allow me to say yes, and nothing comes up. If anything, I get a few that let me finish the job that the ailment started.

The show brought up an interesting moral dilemma. Would you save a man that has killed and brutalized thousands, and could possibly go on and kill thousands of people in the future? Moral questions seem to be missing greatly from tv as of late. They are always topic for a show. What do you think? -- Bringing diversity to perversity for 9 years!
