I notice you didn't respond to my response. Just to your examples, which I
said were good but did not address the basic issue that society is anti-life,
exceptions notwithstanding, and certainly there are exceptions. But then, you
voted for Bush (a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush), so of course you would
think that the government is doing a stellar job. Maybe even in need of
downsizing.
Also, you say things like "You amaze me" and "A pity [you're so warped]" and
then call me haughty. BTW, do you think genocide is a silly concept? I don't
think that's what Stan meant, but it is what he said. Kind of puts Ahmadinejad
into a bit more of a perspective I think.

I gave you thousands. Society itself is an affirmation of life. That you
don't understand that or are too haughty to admit you're wrong is your problem.
That there are forces in the world that you believe are inimical to life does
not invalidate those life-affirming ones. You remind me of so many of the
fundamentalists I've known here in the South who believe that unless something
mirrors their own limited concepts of how things should be then it must be
evil. A pity.
