Indeed, one would think so... Unless one is predisposed to an ultra-conservative fundamentalist perspective of the cosmos; where Man was made in the image of God; where God gave man dominion over the animals and plants of the world; Where God gave man permission to exploit Mother Nature in any way he chooses with no regard to the consequences of his actions, where only humans have souls; where marriage between a man and a woman is the only legal institution that should be recognized by the court of law, particularly when it comes to practical financial matters like administering health insurance; where a president sporting a slightly darker than average tan is being accused of being the equivalent of a wetback, and many who support such a belief are essentially attempting to hijack specific wording within the U.S. Constitution for the purposes of suiting their own objectives as if the constitution was being used as nothing more than a piece of toilet paper to "whip away" the filth of their own bigotry. I could go on, but what's the point. Stupid is what stupid does. PS: This was, of course, a deliberately crafted incendiary post, crafted to outrage certain elements within the Vort Collective who tend to support an ultra-conservative fundamentalist POV regarding their sacred place within the Cosmos. My suggestion would be that they deliberately ignore my little rant (the recommended choice, BTW). Otherwise, feel free to take the bait and run with it. Continue to prove my point.
