At what point is it morally licit to kill?
There is a meeting taking place in my office as I type. There is an incredibly obnoxious acountant working with one of my office-mates; it is also merely the latest of a several with the same ghastly man.

He is incapable of speaking at a normal volume, and shouts everything; he is also rude, and keeps interrupting. I (and my second office-mate) have told her (the office-mate) that she should not accept this, and that she should kick him in the shins when he starts being rude, she is far too sweet-natured to do anything about him.

As soon as the meeting started I got out my headphones and started listening to music which pretty much drowns him out. But I am still fosterring a strong desire to shorten his life by a good few years...
