stoutfellowPeople frequently justify mistreatment of other people with lines like "They're no angels!"
I have to ask: is that the bar that has to be cleared, to merit decent treatment? Not many people can clear that one!
As Shakespeare had Hamlet say, "Use every man after his desert, and who shall 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity. The less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty."
