My father never liked my temper, he always told me that revenge was
an option- but that no matter how sweet the revenge, revenge
was never the end of the story. He was a programmer;
to him revenge was an escape routine that called up an endless
loop of violence.-- Yankee Clandeboye in Man-Kzin Wars VI
I cannot see how to refute the arguments for subjectivity of ethical
values, but I find myself incapable of believing that all that is wrong
with wanton cruelty is that I don't like it - Bertrand Russell
