313. As with every analogy, it is not entirely accurate as a reference
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 11:06 AM by MJDuncan1982
because if it were, identity would be complete and one would be analogizing the same thing against itself.

Your analogy is a little off. It would be more accurate to suppose a family whose children want each other dead (literally) and only the brutal hand of the father is keeping the household from falling apart. The burglar kills the father...if he leaves, the children will murder each other.

Again, this analogy is not accurate either. I'm just trying to illustrate a point.

And it does seem we are in disagreement.
