That's like Warren Buffett saying "tax the rich more!" now that he's the richest guy in the world and about to die.
Or Bill Gates, who after destroying competitor after competitor in the most disgusting ways, turns into a philanthropist.
Those people had their days of conquests, left plenty of dead bodies behind them, and now that their competitive drive is dwindeling and they feel they've conquered enough, they go on the road and preach to the rest of the world.
But...doesn't mean they're wrong. Obviously, what DN is saying makes sense and is right.
The question is, do you have the right to preach while dead bodies are still bleeding and women screaming in the background behind you?
I say yes. I just hope DN is intellectually honest enough to understand that it's easy for him to take the stance of the greater good at this point in his career, and to stay off of those who want their own conquests, because I'm all for the greater good too....but let me make a few millions first.
