Sorry, Larry, but its not about looking "at the human side of it". We all have sympathy for the people that are effected. However, we also, are using our critical thinking skills to assess the situation. Celine and most of the liberals aren't because they don't have that skill. They could get it, as I did, but you have to practice it. Once you get it, it is amazing how clear you begin to see things.
The guys who wrote the scriptures and others like them. I'm very far from knowledgeable about that stuff but isn't there something about "beams and motes" and other stuff about generosity and compassion? You find sentiments like that in all religions and most philosophies.
