I guess it was alright for locke to hit Charlie , since he didn't see his dream/vision .... Hhum..... I wonder why no one gave Locke the BIG one two after his dream/vision got Boone killed AND he lied to Jack about how Boone got hurt , with Boone's fresh blood covering his self-righteous body ?????? I guess his not having overcome a drug addiction makes him a better more trust worthy and forgivable human being ... and Kate's vision/halucination that caused her to run out the hatch and left Sawyer alone on death's bed , not to mention leaving her duty to push the dreaded button .... oh , yeah , she tells Jack , " I'm sorry I'm not as perfect as you ." That forgives everything ! Charlie should have tried that line on Locke , since Locke is perfect maybe he would have forgiven him too.
