Speaking of Kam Sing

The bigger picture of this kind of theme to me is that all of this allows us to be easily led into being okay with something like torture.  As long as we're the ones doing the torturing, we cannot conceive it could come back to be used against us; if it did, suddenly we'd find it out of bounds, of course.- XMASTIME

As Robert Kennedy once pointed out about "The Golden Rule": 

The golden rule is not sentimentality, but the deepest practical wisdom. 

I don't want us to torture other countries' people because ta-DA!...I don't want them torturing ME if the opportunity presents itself. Sometimes the cycle of selfishness works.

Unfortunately for us, the previous administration was far, far too selfless in setting the torture precedent, and now we see that ta-DA! the Chinese are pointing out such patriotic selflessness.

Great.
