That it is imperative to cling to that which sets us apart. I don't feel I have jurisdiction over life and death, except in self-defense. Not in my universe, and not in another's. It's... a problem for me to consider the execution of a man for acts he might commit. I realize that's not very helpful. But I know what I would do. And that I would be responsible for the consequences of those actions."
