Hi,
Also, the history of the world up to this point indicates that "might makes right", and the victors write the histories -- as much as you or I might like to rely on justice, truth, logic, or compassion I just don't see that what we think matters much.
Shall I then start following you around with an RPG? That way, when you exceed the speed limit, I can blow you away. After all, you broke the law, the state failed to enforce it and my might (an RPG) gave me the right.
Pretty stupid argument at the personal level. Doesn't come out much brighter at the international level.
