............your intellectual, gentlemanly comment on ‘our most bestial impulses’ is noted and respected.
That said, some of us are beginning to wonder in this sixteenth year whether 2 arms, 2 legs, a head with something resembling a brain and standing upright absolutely qualifies you to the presumption of being “human” and therefore eligible for such benefit of the doubt. Daily muslims rape babies, cut 6 year olds heads off to make a point to bystanders, stone women for the slightest infraction, kill their daughters, cut heads off and conduct mass executions while CAIR goes on the air in the US and tells us, also Daily, that their religion is the religion of peace.
Are you sure you want to give them the benefit of the doubt on being human? I say no. There are times in it’s history when the U.S. has had to get down on bad guys level. Okinawa was one. Most prisoners were just shot! This is the future vis a vis radical muslim fighters.
...........lol, I meant “sixteenth year of the 21st Century”...........sorry...
