- Problem is is that its not wrong in that person's reference. In fact it is very
- operant in that person's reference. From our "loftier" ;) reference it is not

- It may very well be stupid from our point of view, and dangerously stupid,
- leading to irreversible acts. Hence it needs education. If it were just plain wrong
- it would require sterilization and eradication. And that would depend on
- which group was the strongest -as to whether "them" or "us" would be
- eradicated. Personally I've seen my fill of that level of stupidity
- and refuse to support that level of intolerance.
