22. I do...
A car is a mere material possesion. You can get another car, that's what we pay insurance for. You can't possibly believe your car is more valuable than the life of a human being, can you?

I certainly believe that.

I do not hold the belief that all human life is sacred. Some lives are sacred, some are of no consequence, and others are vile. It all depends on how that person carries themselves through life. We all determine the sanctity of our lives by choosing the paths we walk in it.

A criminal who would steal from me is worthless, in my opinion. They have chosen a path that places the value of their lives far below the value of my my car, or even my VCR. My domain is sacred to me. It represents my very life. Anyone who would tresspass against that is worthless.

It is not the value of the item being stolen that is of consideration. It is the act of violation that renders them worthless.
