    But with top-down deontological systems, especially those with a divine
    mandate, what one side wants is just plain apodictically *right and good*,
    and includes the total willing embrace of that great truth by the other
    side. `Deal-making' when *salvation* and more importantly *God's One
    Unimpeachable Truth* is at stake? Take that corrupt bastard out and kill
    him before his contamination spoils others!
