Quote:It is not a crime to kill ducks to save humans, it is a crime to kill humans to save ducks.

So to prevent jail time I'd kill the ducks.

Simples

Only it would have required your acting to avoid killing the humans. Surely it isn't a crime to not act Tongue

I wouldnt like to have to defend myself in court on that one, I wouldnt take the chance.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
