My daughter is required to take a course on global justice in college. A featured speaker each year is Peter Singer. I just shudder.



Make sure she asks him why he hasn't pushed his mother into suicide as she has alzheimers.

He came and spoke in person before my daughter took the course. I know that some students were so disgusted that they left the lecture. When my daughter took it, they had him on tape. I assume that they got wiser. My daughter's college is not really all that far from where he teaches, although they may have had him come that one time so that they could tape him. I don't know the specifics. My dau saw through his hypocrisy with ease. He talked about economics and choices. I forget the details. But he made the point that he has money and education and therefore shouldn't be bound to the restrictions he'd place on others. It wasn't that obvious of a point, not surprisingly, but that was how my dau described his views to us.
