TORTURE ME TWO

So here is one extra step.

I heard a guy say we ought to apply the 'golden rule' to this torture thing.

Would we want THEM to do unto us what we are apparently doing to them?

Well, of course, fuck no!

These people are gooks! We are Americans!

I have a second level question.

Would you want to be the guy who is doing the torturing?

Really.

Think about it.

You have heard about waterboarding. Would you do it to somebody? Would you be the guy asking the questions or the brute who dips the board?

How about the cattle prod? How far would you go?

A touch to the ass? How about up the ass?

Fingernails?

Where would you start and where would you stop?

Maybe I am hitting it too hard here.

How about the guy who sets the A/C on 55 and then every once in a while you hit the perp with a shot of cold water?

Or maybe you could be the one who puts them into the rig that makes them stand there for 36 hours. 72?

I think this kind of question is a lot more powerful than the golden rule one.

It skips the metaphysics.

Of course, there are those who would say yes. They are always with us.

But, I bet that there are a whole lot of us who would vote for someone else to do the dirty work but, in no way, would we want to do it ourselves.

Believe me. The bushies rely on the people who would not have the balls or stomach for it but wouldn't stop someone else. The sadist by proxy.

That is it.

I have had enough of this myself.
