    One could argue - from a liberation theology perspective - that you can have (and perhaps even need) both.

    Hard to do a revolution with a broken leg. You need something to soothe the pain if you want to get back into the fight.

      But opium won't fix your leg, you will be a one-legged person in a war.

        No. But it'll keep you from thrashing in pain while they set the splint.
