Torture

What is torture. I asked this question today. For one person, water boarding and forcing men to pile on each other blindfolded. For me - seriously, having to deal with some of the stupidest people on earth - would qualify as torture. They test your mental faculties, they cause you insomnia, they cause you heartburn, they cause you indigestion, you lose weight, you have nightmares ... you wake up angry and bitter at having to go to work. Or maybe, you walk into the Courtroom and dread that moment where you are forced to defend the indefensible - and you win, which means we all lose. We, the people, have evil thrust upon us, due to the due diligence of the lawyer. Torture.

Torture is in large part subjective. Not debatable, I am not interested in negotiating or discussing whether it is, it is.

No good comes of me being forced to deal with a lot of ne'er do wells.

Does the end justify the means? Does it matter.
