WORTH

      They say that the life of one policeman is worth the life of 100
citizens.

      That means in a conflict between policeman and citizen, if you lose
only one policeman for every 100 citisens that go down, you have done
well, it was 'worth it'.

      This is not because the policeman is worth more than the citizen,
but because the policman is following your orders and the citizen isn't.

      When following orders becomes the most valuable attribute that a
person can have, the society is on its way out.
