[net.politics.theory] What is ``abnormal circumstances''?

laura@hoptoad.uucp (Laura Creighton) (02/14/86)

I like Eric Mack's position on this one.  In normal circumstances you have
great freedom of choice for your actions.  In abnormal stituations you do
not.  ``kill the enemy/or be killed yourself'' ``steal a loaf of bread/or
starve to death''  To be faced with such limited number of choices is
to be in an abnormal circumstance -- some (personal) disaster has
occurred.
