4. Welcome to DU, Amyishere.

I offer a quote from "The Lord of the Rings" in response to your post: Gandalf: "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

3. Reality changes over time. Some things remain true. If john lewis could
