     Sounds like good shit to me.  How's that different from The Art
of War, or the Business is War of the Japanese.

     Look, there is sanity and there is insanity.

     The sane pick the proper time and place to do things, and the
insane don't.  One can not judge the sanity of a person by WHAT he
does, but obly by when and why he does it, and the correctness of his
logic and perceptions of things as they are at the time.

     Just because someone is bent on kamikaze doesn't mean he is
insane, he may very well be a whole lot saner than the peace loving
sheep walking around in the streets.

     There are better things to make war with than your own friends,
but if they are going do you in, far better to do them in first, by
whatever means.
 
     So pick your enemies wisely then, and choose your actions by their
fit to the situation.
