It's so hard to listen to men of obvious intelligence dismissing bulletproof ethical arguments as gobble-dee-gook. There is a systematic failure of human compassion to assert itself in the hearts of men -- particularly those that subscribe to the neo-conservative ideology. Compassion is dead. And we have to get it back. We have to teach it in schools. We have to broadcast it on TV. We have to get big movie stars to scream the word in every camera that spies them out. We need giant marquees in Times Square to repeat the word in an ongoing scroll. We need to re-write the bible to take out all that allegory and myth, and replace it with straightforward language -- namely, the word "compassion" repeated a thousand times.
For the love of decency, can we please fight to get compassion back as a human characteristic?
