for a principle.
2. I don't know if he would die for his cause, but he certainly

3. Besides the work ethic, there is the regulatory ethic. "The
main way to improve the world is to forbid something".
4. It's better than the radical ethic. "The main way to improve
the world is to kill somebody".

6. It is a Spencerean tragedy. - According to T.H. Huxley, "Mr.
Herbert Spencer's idea of a tragedy is a theory slain by a fact".
7. When God finished the bacteria, the Edsger complained, "My God,
