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!
