Oh yes. 'If' - the assumption conjunction.

Calculating speed from "stored data" may be trivial to some, but if you're
charged with a felony, that calculation would be fateful, don't you think?

And we are ruled by dangerously silly people.

"The infliction of cruelty is a delight to moralists, that is why they
invented hell."

Hey, I'm the guy that will risk my life to pull a wounded animal off of
the road and take it to the vet while dozens of cars have driven by and
watched it twitch.
This has happened with one dog and three cats, none hit by me.

However, when an adult, (presumedly), rational human walks past signs
warning of dangerous winds and launches him or herself off of a cliff
wearing an expensive set of manmade wings, there is 0% compassion for
them from me.
The best that they can hope for is a hamburger lowered down from a
fishing pole, and that would probably just be to taunt them with the
aroma before I quickly reeled it back up. ;-)
