But clear, logical thinking requires the ability to make distinctions. It is wrong to kill an innocent person. It may not be wrong for the state to kill someone who is guilty. A baby in the womb is not the moral equivalent of a convicted serial killer or an al-Queda terrorist.

This seeming inconsistency vanishes once you add to the equation the ever-present death culture our current cultural mavens are foisting upon us.
Can't understand why the EU and the most leftist jerks in our country back the Islamist death worshippers? Same reason.

The paradigm has shifted. Why? Because the central thinkers and planning geniuses of our last few generations believe more in the bleak mathematics of Thomas Mathus than they do in our God-given ability to figure our way out of what they believe is the inevitable "population bomb."

So, no longer is innocent life to be cherished and protected.
Abortion is encouraged, because it promotes the reduction of the number of humans.
Common murder is no longer discouraged for the same reason, but also for the added bonus of terrorizing the weakest in society and justifying Draconian excesses as "the needs" arise.
Gee, I wonder why its becoming possitively dangerous to defend yourself? Defending yourself runs contrary to the new paradigm -- you're no longer innocent! You're guilty simply for existing. You're adding to the planet's human excess.

No. Once you start thinking like the enviro-wackos who get all the funding and the press, and help lay the groundwork for this megalomaniacal blood-lust, it all makes sense. Very grim, anti-JudeoChristian God, sense.

In short, don't ever forget what I've shortly laid out here, and a great deal that will happen in the next few years will no longer appear so contradictory.

I admire your screen name. ;^)

Have you tangled with old Lucius himself on this site? lol

Few folks realize how the Sullan attempt to restore the old Constitution destroyed what was left of it and left the field open for the Triumvirate, and then...the 'Imperator'. ;^)

Res publica bump!

Indexing two seperate commentaries within this thread.

#7 was to the original article posted by Caleb1411.
It warns that what may at first appear as societal inconsistencies are really not contradictory when one considers the ever-present death culture our current cultural mavens are foisting upon us.

#232 was in response to semper_libertas's challenge that slaveholders value their slaves.
It demonstrates where what we are witnessing is not unlike what one expects to see when herds are culled.
