It was kind of the wizard to give Cheney a heart, but when is he going to give Bush a brain?

Anybody willing to go hunting with Cheney.
I agree, but Cheney is proof that you can shoot someone without it really being an assassination.

I don't share the opinion with many people here than Vice President Cheney was an evil man but that was very funny.

Does having values always mean that "not wishing ill health on others" must be included as one of those values?

I would think so, even hope so.

So values are only values if they agree with your own personal values?

No. And you should know me better than that.

If he got a brain transplant I'd be making similar jokes about him not having had one prior to the operation.

Then I invite you to reconsider your previous answer. I like to think that I have values, but they don't happen to include a "don't wish ill-health on anyone" proviso. Does that mean I don't have values, after all?

He could use one, but that's the one organ transplant where it's better to be the donor than the recipient.

There's a whole lot of fuzzy area in the "I don't wish ill health on anyone" thing. No, I don't actively wish bad stuff on anyone (and I don't believe in karma), but I cannot deny, that when bad things happen, I prefer that they happen to people that my personal morality calls "bad" (and I'm not shedding too many tears over Hugo Chavez either). Honestly, who doesn't want more good stuff for the good guys? What's the flip side of that coin?

Yeah, but there really isn't such a thing as a brain transplant. It really is a body transplant. Old brain, new body.He could use one, but that's the one organ transplant where it's better to be the donor than the recipient.

Why do we need a body?

Good point. Some of the brain-in-a-vat stories I've read have really provoked some interesting musings.

From my new posts search page:
I agree in part, but I think it's fine to wish ill upon certain people. I was pleased to hear the news about the death of Bin Laden, as well as that of Ghaddafi. I hope that Bashar al-Assad meets the same fate as Ghaddafi.
Perhaps those are just extreme examples. I can't think of any U.S. political figures upon whom I wish ill health or death.
