No Guilt

Actus reus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea. A wonderful legal loophole that says the act is not culpable unless the mind is guilty.

And therein lies the problem. We’re all friggin’ geniuses and everything we do is wonderful.

So if wonderful acts of genius result in someone’s demise, well, ashes to ashes my friend.
Alive, job secure, feeling fine. Plus no color guard/Taps/rifle detail send-off. Where’s the guilt in that?

They were always thinking about all the good things they could do. Honest to goodness.
