81. Maybe you can explain *this* Gandhi quote for us, then? kthxbye.
"Taking life may be a duty... Even man-slaughter may be necessary in certain cases. Suppose a man runs amuck and goes furiously about, sword in hand, and killing anyone that comes in his way, and no one dares to capture him alive. Anyone who despatches this lunatic will earn the gratitude of the community and be regarded as a benevolent man."

-- Mahatma Gandhi, ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS, comp. and ed. by Krishna Kripalani, Navajivan Pub House, Ahmenabad-14, 1971.
