I guess this is the difference between you and I Doug. I suspect that
we both would get really ****ed off, and would desire to retaliate in
some way, which would ensure that it never happened again. The
difference is that you would probably carry it through, while I would
likely restrain myself by a very strong sense of morality. I'd
probably make sure I parked the car in the garage (You do have one of
those right?) from then on. If the cat happened to end up dead in the
road the next week, I'd chalk it up to "God's Revenge".

God's revenge, eh? Interesting name for a Sopranos-style solution, Dave.
See? You DO have a dark side.

I don't think you understand. I would not be the one who was
responsible for the cat ending up dead. The fact is that the cat got
hit by a car and, by extension, solves my little problem.

To paraphrase the bible, "vengeance is mine, says the lord". I've
often had bad things done to me in the past, by less than civilized
people, only to find out later that some even worse thing happened to
them. Coincidence? Maybe. But in any case, they got what they
deserved. What goes around, comes around. God's Revenge.

Dave

Whether you kill the cat, or revel in its death, it's still your dark side
revealing itself.
