Well, speaking from my own (apparent) semi-unique perspective: Darwin's proposition of "Survival of the Fittest" would seem to scream out for the elimination of degenerate components of society which threaten to bring the entire species to total extinction.
And, being an engineer, I cannot but cheer and encourage any activity that speeds the destruction of those destructive elements of society. Like gang conflicts, for example. And religion, for another. Not that there is much difference, really. --Doug On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 6:33 PM, Roger Critchlow <r...@elf.org> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 2:40 PM, Steve Smith <sasm...@swcp.com> wrote: > >> Tory - >> >> Why is the idea of two differing but synergistic approaches so >>> challenging to so many on this list?
