I want to live in a society that has enough backbone to make tough decisions that prevent greater tragedies. But I don't ever want to live among people who'd casually order it, without first addressing every possibility for a more optimistic outcome.

I don't want us to become the moster--I want us to outwit him. If this idea is no better than the rest, in producing that effect--fine--we go back to the drawing board. I'm not married to any idea will not ultimtely contribute to your success.
