thanks / dave / for a really good analysis. i'm not a fan of the sizzlean 
and know first hand what they're capable of on a daily basis. but, i gotta 
say that i completely agree. it would be nice to expect the sizzlean to 
behave differently. but they don't. it would be nice were they trained to 
not shoot to kill, but they aren't. acting in ways that assume that they 
should is ignorant.
