Why does one have to be more important than the other?

Justice without mercy is cruel.......blind mercy without appropriate justice is stupid

All of theis talk reminds me of a good Jimmy Caan quote in Way of the Gun.

All of theis talk reminds me of a good Jimmy Caan quote in Way of the Gun.

When I see Caan, I am always reminded of the story of him and Don Knotts playing golf. Knotts started to heckle Caan, and when it finally got to him, he threw knots to the ground and stuffed a golf ball in hi mouth. Knotts began to laugh endlessly and Caan asked, "What is wrong, you stupid bastard" and Knotts replied that he sure was glad they were not bowling.

That was offered by Golf Digest back in 70s. And, Knotts may not have been the miniature guy.

There is a whole book about morality and how the left and right emphasize different aspects of it. This book is really good.

Never heard that story before, but it sounds plausible.

That movie is one of my all time favorites - so many good lines and scenes.

The opening scene - not necessarily representative of the rest of the movie, but awesome.
The sperm bank interviews are classic.
The first meeting between Del Toro and Caan - great lines.
"I think a plan is just a list of things that don't happen."
"You know what I'm gonna tell God when I meet him? I'm gonna tell him I was framed."

Mercy. That doesn't mean not being held to consequences for your actions.
