Us Americans
These poor woman who get abortions--to hear the rt2lfrs talk, you'd think these woman were taking chainsaws to the necks of their little girls or boys. There's no perspective in this country. I mean its not as if Americans in general have some mythical and legendary moral repugnance toward the taking of life. We love killing in this country. Always have. People were barely in this country for a few years before they started killing indians. Every generation of Americans have seen war---very few of these wars, mind you--were conscionable by any modern standard of morality. We have impounded American Citizens. We have hounded law abiding citizens for social change with our secret police(MartinLutherKing &FBI etc). Black people were lynched by the hundreds maybe thousands. We have killed criminals. We have ordered the execution of foreign nationals. We have allowed our own citizens to die because they were poor and we couldn't be bothered. Right now, we are allowing a major foreign power to exterminate its people through one of the most despicable crimes of depraved indifference the world has ever seen. Apparently our country's precious embryos are more important than the 3 and a half MILLION North Koreans who have perished at the bequest of crazed meglomaniac who appears absolutely giddy at having a country all to himself. I don't see us FREEING North Korea. Nobody's talking about DEPOSING the evil dictator. PUNISHING the evil doers. Bringing DEMOCRACY to the North Koreans. What we Americans are allowing to happen to the people of North Korea is a S I N spelled out in capital letters. And people in this country have the gaul to get all self righteous about a few superfluous embryos. As if we are the guardians of all that is good and great in the world. Hypocracy.
My solution is more frequent public oral sex between people who like each other, for the most part.
Believe me we are a long way from the Nirvanic attainment of a completely self regulated non violent society of large brained communicative upright men and women. Saving the unborn will do very little to cleans our human slates. Lets take baby steps. Instead of saving the unborn, lets end revenge killing(Capital Punishment). Perhaps when our legs are more steady we can tackle unnecessary foreign collateral bloodshed through and for American Imperialism(If you don't like this word, attempt if you will-- to explain how it violates(in its usage and meaning) the definition most often given to the word imperialism.
