Seems like a very hollow nobility to me.
It's not my principle. It's the principle on which this nation was founded.

And I'll take my hollow nobility any day over your "shit happens." You sit here, safe at home, and pretend that it's okay for us to play God and choose who will live and who will die, vainly believing that you have the power to determine the fate of "hundreds, or thousands, or more."

Seems like a hollow being to me. Devoid of soul, conscience, and compassion. And I'm not being at all partisan.
