John Huston was great director/writer.  I read once that before filming began on The Night of the Iguana, he presented to each of his four stars (Gardner, Burton, Kerr and Lyon) a silver bullet …. indicative for the moments when each might want to "kill" the other or even him.  Good story …. truth or not.

I am not a non-violent human being even though I would probably weep over a killer if I should have to attend an execution.  Nor am I a Madam deFarge who could while away the hours between executions by knitting a chronicle of the condemned.  However, I agree with the broad concept that any who harm children or the helpless do not deserve a long life.  Any person who kills for pleasure forfeits his right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

It is for this very reason that people have formed governments and wrote out their own Bill of Rights so that communities can protect themselves and protect their citizenry from vigilantism by having courts of laws and rules of justice.  We are supposed to be protected from our own cries of vengeance by the community enacting punishment on those who harm us, our families or our community or country.  Trial by twelve good men and women has generally proven to be a good system.

I recognize the fact that the question posed today is a  "tongue in cheek" avenue to list those folks who really irritate us the most.  However, my first thought was for all those folks who have suffered grievous harm while their perpetrators spend little time in prison or "get off" with no punishment.  We truly do live in a time when the "victim-hood" of the abuser reigns supreme within our courts and the true victim is little remembered.
