This whole fucking world is going down the shitter, and there's nothing we can do. It's not like killing a peasant is going down the shitter, and there's nothing we can do. It's not like killing a peasant is going down the shitter, and there's nothing we can do. It's not like killing a peasant is going to matter as much as killing someone's grandmother ;) Bill Gates would reply: Would they rather use a pirated version of Windows XP, or Linux? Seriously, I don't know anyone that gets joy out of knowing the fact that they killed someone. Even the psychotic elements among us wouldn't get any enjoyment if they don't have the thrill of doing it by hand. So, then, the people that would push the button are not evil monsters, more like people with a life. Even if it was a button because it is there.

Especially if it's as easy as pushing a button on the other side of the world and smack you up side the head, but have a little class...
