Maybe it says a lot about me and my own personal ethics, and possibly not in a good way, but I see no moral difference between an insurance company using bureaucracy to intentionally withhold payment for treatment when they know that the most probable and foreseeable result of their refusal is that the patient dies and “being gunned down on the street”.
To me, both are murder. But only one of them rises to the level of “serial killer” and, surprise, it’s not the one the media wants us mad about.
When Inigo Montoya revenged his father, it was righteous and deserved.
Smaug terrorized an entire kingdom so it could sleep on top of a mountain of gold bringing death and destruction in its wake.
No one shed a single tear when the dragon died because the dragon was killing for no other reason than piling up its gold hoard and harming the mostly defenseless was its nature.
