ed doesn't understand the difference between "might makes right," and
"might gets results sometimes." Might only makes right when one is
right in using it, as in self defense. When one is wrong, as in
ed senter's attempt to enforce an agreement to rob Dean Evans of
his wallet*, then might makes WRONG.
ed apparently thinks using deadly force against someone to
get his car back is a case of "self defense." He might even
be able to make that case in a way that could persuade me.
He cannot make a persuasive case that if and when he uses deadly
force against someone, the outcome determines whether he's right
or not.

Ask ed if he thinks Hitler was right when he was slaughtering
innocent people, and no one was stopping him. His answers in the
past have been very interesting.
