Writer's Block: Captain Planet

EASY....A copy of good old Earth, but scrubbed clean of pollution and damage. The population would comprise just me, a few friends and a few million android servitors. There would be 8-10 cities of romanticized 1930s vintage around the globe, linked by zeppelin flights and railroads. But for the most part, the planet would be pristine. A fleet of ships out in Mars orbit carry on any needed manufacturing, and provide security from comet or meteor strikes. Two or three ships in Earth orbit beam broadcast power down to the surface, providing plentiful power to keep the lights on. These ships also have the capability to instantaneously transport anyone or anything to and from any point on the planet.

Those two things are VERY VERY different. How could you "strike someone in a fit of anger" and NOT regret it? How could you "strike someone in self-defense" and regret it, if it truly WAS self-defense?
And AGAIN, if you did not "live to regret it" you'd be dead, and therefore unable to read, much less answer, this question.
Quit using cliches already!!!!
"Did you regret it, afterwards" is actually what you mean.
