One day on a walk in the woods, six-year-old Calvin announces
to Hobbes the tiger that he has decided he doesn't believe in
ethics anymore, because, as far as he's concerned, "The ends
justify the means." "Get what you can while the getting is good,"
Calvin reasons, "Might makes right."
At this, Hobbes (who is stuffed in the eyes of all but Calvin)
promptly pushes his human friend into a mud hole.
"Why'd you do that?" Calvin objects.
"You were in my way," Hobbes replies, "and now you're not.
The ends justify the means."
