-Well, I think that all lives matter
-We should care equally at all times about everything
-All houses matter
I agree, all houses do matter, but at the moment, the one on fire should get more attention-
-But by saying that a burning house needs attention, aren't you saying all other houses don't matter?
No!-
-My house isn't on fire, but it has dry rot. Are you saying it shouldn't be fixed?
It should! But the fire is very pressing-
-Let's say i put that house fire out, but my house catches on fire. Aren't I entitled to water then?
Of course! But it's not the one on fire right now-
-My house is the near the one on fire. If I wet it down, embers won't catch. Sensible.
That is completely outside the analogy-
-Where's that house owner anyway? Why do I gotta hose down his house for him?
He died, in the fire-
