    I guess what I meant was that resolving to not burn kittens is a resolution
that an evil person would make, since good people don't burn them already.
What I was trying to do was draw a parallel to Erik's resolution of abstaining
from something.  As you pointed out, my parallel was more of an obtuse angle.
    The worst thing about this whole thing is that I'm getting a stronger
urge all the time to actually build a burning kitten.
