While I agree with what our friend Mr. Gandhi is trying to say, it does deserve to be said that the Mosaic Law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth has nothing to do with revenge. It is all about reparation. For more details, please read Exodus and Deuteronomy, as well as W. Cleon Skousen's "The Majesty of God's Law". I know I found it very enlightening. -- Anonymous

I think it's more relevant than ever in a world where violence is spiraling out of control. Where does it stop? When the world is burning in nuclear flames? It has to start somewhere... It has to start with someone. -- Pensive, Victoria, BC
