Burama,
Sorry if you feel that we misunderstood you. Again we must use that as a
learning moment.

As to how we must proceed? I once wrote about the struggle to be
analogous to tiny ants carrying a large carcass to the anthill on the
forest floor. First they each hold on to the part they can and drag.
While chaotic and sometime ineffective at first, the group slowly finds
their grove and with much efficiency the carcass eventually gets to the
den. The lesson here is:
1. They all seem to agree that the carcass is worth taking. In our case
this fellow must go!
2. No one questions to wisdom/motive of others (at least so it seem) -
This is where we wastes most of out valuable
3. Every ant give the best of their ability, aka "not what your country
can do for you but what you can do for your country, JRK".
4. This process is no different from "death by thousand cuts".
