FreeLists / tn-bird / [tn-bird] Cockeyed virus logic (was about Mark Bennett

["Jim & Marlis Greenway" <greenway@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's apply the logic from the attached email to other problems.

"Drunk drivers do not have anything to do with the character or intelligence
of the person who they kill.  They are strictly a consequence of the design
of the modern road system.  A drunk was designed before people routinely
drove autos on the road, and the road lacks the infrastructure necessary for
preventing drunk driving. If anyone deserves blame for the existence of
drunk driving fatalities, it is the short-sighted designer of the road."

Here's another one: "Rapes do not have anything to do with the character or
intelligence of
the person whose sexuality was violated.  They are strictly a consequence of
the design of the human female genitalia.  It was designed before females
routinely wore chastity belts, and it lacks the infrastructure necessary to
prevent forcible sexual penetration.  If anything deserves blame for the
existence of rapes, it is sexist evolution."

Keep your cockeyed, blame-the-victim logic off a birding list. Viruses have
everything in the world to do with malicious, juvenile self-absorbed
technogeeks without even the consideration felt by a boy throwing stones
through windows. Viruses barely dink Gates' armor but costs innocent,
anonymous computer users tens of thousands of dollars every year.
