'Big Question Theater' Night


Just like the many personality tests that
In all silly seriousness stamp you with a label based on the answers
To 1-10 questions, I will pose a simple one
Which I am genuinely curious about,
But which also shows how late o'clock it truly is.

Do you sense that the

a) Ends justify the means?

Or that the

b) Means justify the ends?

Just curious to know what you think... and if you could also
Support your 'a' or 'b' answer in some pithy manner or other,
I would be most appreciative.

Novels in which this issue is presented and/or wrestled.

Many of your dreams?
Choices made on a daily basis.

Fin?

Watched the new Dr. Who on tv yesterday. Interesting choice. Reevaluating who the doctor is after each new transformation, I realize that he certainly seems a person whose ideals land him in the 'means justifies the end' part of the spectrum. 'Raggedy doctor' indeed... ;) The child within lives!
