>> Which reminds me of Hiroshima -- the greatest attack by a military force on the greatest number of civilians EVER. If that was not anti-humanistic, I cannot think what _is_.


Thought the Tokyo firebombings killed more...

but Mao's 20 million?
Stalin's 12 million?
Hitler's 6 million?
European trans-Atlantic slave trade's 60 million?
Islamic trans-Saharan and trans-Indian Ocean's 60 million?


Is it a number game or an attitude?

If the latter, isn't the suicide's vote the ultimate anti-humanism?

Yours in the service of Kleist,
