Anita, regarding the value of people, it would depend on the nature of the offense and the nature of the specialization. There are a lot of ways to “murder” someone, including medical personnel giving overdoses of opiate type pain killers to terminal patients. Hospice staff OD’ed my grandmother with morphine sulfate for example. That would be murder by statute, but to me it was the best thing that happened to her at the time.

Not sure what you mean by the strategy comment. It seems like you are saying that I would basically be playing a game with her regarding respect?

Regarding her worth, she is educated and intelligent. She has a good deal more patience than I do. Her line of work involves trying to make people’s lives better. I do consider her to be a high worth person.
