Yes, I'll agree going after the defenseless, especially children, is a step too far. I can just understand the need to take on society itself when it's the society that is about to arrest you and throw you back in the slave pens.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
