The thing I find appalling is that I am sure that nearly each and every one of the people complicit in the torture of the poor man were convinced that they were doing the correct thing, for great justice, truth, and so forth.

I'm sorry that those people are calling themselves human, and I'm sorry that I don't know what to do to make it fucking stop.


... I'm glad that I'm raising a sane and honorable child who is learning respect for others. I suppose that's one of the only, and the best, things I can do.

good guys/bad guys

There's also no easy line between good guys and bad guys. I think it was on the Bujold list that someone's .sig was that it would be much easier to separate the good guys and the bad guys if it didn't involve cutting every human into pieces.
