CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@amorablackrose Respectfully I'll say basing your decision on who to listen to on such characteristics doesn't have a good track record.

@mekkaokereke "[yada yada] If nothing else let my children and my children's children say we were justified...[yada yada]"

Because when someone tries to do something good, that's what's going through the mind of the person attempting the good, right?

*Top on the list: I want folks decades down the line to consider me justified*

Not "Suffering was avoided" or "People live better lives."

Nope.

How do you say your motives are questionable and you know it without explicitly saying so?

@mekkaokereke "Chuck Norris stared evil in the eye and it went into hiding."

- more like "...stared evil in the eye and kept on brushing his teeth."

@mekkaokereke About 30 seconds in I spotted those white fabric things over he shoulder hanging on the wall and, Glob help me, for a few seconds I parsed it as coat hooks with a bunch of white robes hanging on them.
