I'm going to have to go with the latter.
Violence is never a legal response to a nonviolent provocation.
Unless you're the government, of course.
Idealism is nice, but in the end one CAN weigh huge numbers of deaths against "dictator-enforced stability" if one wants. Most people prefer to live and hope for the future than to die now for nothing useful (i.e. die in current Iraq due to all sorts of violence that does not move Iraq towards "democracy"). Let the idealists choose the times of and reasons for their own deaths if they wish, while the rest choose to live on and hope.
Human rights don't mean shit when you're dead.
That should count as a suicide, too (as well as a murder), due to acceptance on the character's part in spite of having superhuman powers, including foreknowledge of the event, which could've let him at least make a strong attempt to not be killed.

It's a pain, but you have to go to the bottom of the page and click the "Check for New Comments" button until all comments are loaded, at least if there are over 250 comments (with my settings, which I'm unable to improve). It will only give you 250 new comments at a time, too, so if you want to load all of 501+ comments you need to click it multiple times, waiting in between each time.
I honestly love FTFY responses. You're putting words in people's mouths, or telling them that they misrepresented their own thought in what they wrote. It seems very polite and courteous. (space before period removed) Honestly, surely you are a better judge of the thoughts that are in my head than me!
FTFY.
That's not how you're supposed to use time in equations, unless you can substantiate the idea that the name of the year itself has a large impact on things. Instead the proper default is to set the beginning of your data points as having occurred at time unit 0.
The difference between reality and unreality is that reality has so little to recommend it. -- Allan Sherman
