stockie- you read it in two minutes and sent a reply already? wow, you are fast. slow down hijo. did you also check out biobay.com that sue mentioned? here are some more questions: is there such a thing as an evil species? if so, should we kill 'em? how about rattlesnakes? they're deadly, right? what about people? are there evil people? bad guys? 100 percent? should we kill 'em? do you know anyone who has killed a person while committing a crime? would you kill them? what if that person was your son or daughter? why would this make a difference? are there angelic people? good guys? 100 percent? should we idolize them? do you know anyone personally who has never said a discouraging word? or thought a discouraging thought? what if they had a bad day and walked into your house with a weapon and said it was time for us to go be with God? yes. these are unusual questions and most conversations on the superficial level of media headline stories assume that everyone knows and agrees on all the answers. what a preposterous assumption. then the story jumps right on to step two to discuss the solution(s) before anyone has the chance to say, "WAIT. i don't think we have consensus on the original moral question. i don't think we've even agreed there's a problem yet." ahhhh... life... it is an enigma. don't judge it too quickly... in fact, if you judge it at all... you're already wrong. but is it wrong to be wrong?... or is it natural? -el polecat
