What the hell is wrong with us? - a PS
« on: June 18, 2018, 09:35:10 AM »

And, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Forum - go to it I am under no illlusions as to the tidal wave of opprobrium now heading my way!
The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

An it harm none, do what you will; an it harm some, do what you must!

Not opprobrium, more puzzlement.
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

I wouldn't think of reproaching you Owlswing. Why? What have you done?

What is this opaque opprobrium you speak of?

Why do you think it is heading your way?

The unlamented serial flouncer used to imagine (and hope) that people would be offended or angered by her pathetic, adolescent, dim-witted opinions. Don't you start!
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

This is a mild version of what I meant!
