I heard another one:
"Two wrongs don't make a right, but the second one evens the score".
I remember a hard core metal song with these lyrics:
"Two wrongs don't make a right, but it makes me feel a whole lot better".
I just remembered....the group was Suicidal Tendencies.
They say two wrongs don't make a right
Well maybe that is true
But I can't describe the feeling I get
When I take revenge on you
Try this on for size:
"To him who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, to him it is sin."
Protecting the young by jackin' up a would-be perp is a good thing, and I'll be among the last to sin by failing to do it.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
