Sometimes you amaze me, Rich. If only this were true.

TOTALLY STUPID SPECIES have accepted it, "never stop questioning" eventually will lead to quashing the bullship tha killing is OK.

I don't believe humans will ever reach the conclusion of killing, but that doesn't mean we should stop questioning it.

In a book he called "The Lomokome Papers," Herman Wouk described a fictional culture that never had war. Instead, they simply calculated a casualty list and the opposing forces on marched their designated number voluntarily into an incinerator. This was all well and good, because it avoided the destruction of war while resulting in both defeat and victory. Wouk's thesis if I recall correctly was that such a plan made war too clean, too acceptable, too easy. And therefore it was engaged in routinely as easily as sitting down to Sunday dinner.
