Do not kill, don't have anger, respect any form of life.

Do not kill, don't have anger, respect any form of life.  That's the credo of the Jains, an Indian religious sect.  Sounds like my kind of people.  Members of that faith helped hundreds of people during the recent al Qaeda siege at Nairobi, providing much-needed assistance that the government didn't.

Hey, wait a minute – you can't do that!  That's not the socialist progressive way!  We'll have none of that self-reliance here, buddy – you wait for the government to show up, like a proper citizen subject!
