8. Exactly right. The attitude often taken was summed up by historian Thomas Macaulay years ago:

"I am in the right, and you are in the wrong. When you are the stronger, you ought to tolerate me, for it is your duty to tolerate truth; but when I am the stronger, I shall persecute you, for it is my duty to persecute error."

Spot-on OP; Rec. :thumbsup:
