I'm sure this is not going to work out well for me,but sometimes you just have to do the right thing.

Oh I agree completely! I meant that is it worth my going to prison, to me, my family, etc., to accost, torture and castrate a child predator who is unlikely to get caught and prosecuted!

Maybe to you it does. Seems pretty human to me. I personally do not feel as though I am lacking in moral conviction at all.
