Tyrannical: So, if the brain is not developed to a certain point, it should not be considered "human life"?
| Rath said: @Tyrannical. Exactly what I believe. |
So, if either through brain damage, or severe mental retardation, if the brain is not functioning to a certain "level", we should not cosider those possesing such limited cognitive abilities "human life"?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
