It was the truth. Jurisdiction, same as back home. "You catch your criminals and I'll catch mine," only this is 'you help your inmate and I'll help mine.' There's nothing wrong with that (well, you could argue the fundamental value of morality, but for conversation's sake we won't); I'm glad I know that's how it works.

I can care about more than one person. I'm not smug or a jackass and I'm not sure I understand why you think I am. I consider causing a strong emotion in any direction to be 'getting through' to someone, so maybe it's a difference of definition. With you, it's negative. With Jonathan, it has a good chance to be positive.
