Nice reply Northern.
Thank you! (takes a bow)
By the way, did you know the sarcastic term "ghost in
the machine" appears at the beginning of Humanist Manifesto II? If you
ever
saw the list of signers and their title, you might know what we are up
against in terms of power.
The "people" we're up against are the same that my ancestors faced in
Ukraine,
where 7 million people were murdered by a government-created famine.
Eastern
European resistance fighters (against Stalinism) named the Enemy we faced
aptly:
The Anti-Humans
The "Humanist Manifesto" is in the same vein as the workings of the Ministry
of Love in 1984. The rich and poweful who are always oh, so "concerned"
about humanity generate all this crap, while living their opulent
lifestyles.
I recall that great, short piece by Robert Louis Stevenson:
--
FOUR reformers met under a bramble bush. They were all agreed the world must
be changed. "We must abolish property," said one.
"We must abolish marriage," said the second.
"We must abolish God," said the third.
"I wish we could abolish work," said the fourth.
"Do not let us get beyond practical politics," said the first. "The first
thing is to reduce men to a common level."
"The first thing," said the second, "is to give freedom to the sexes."
"The first thing," said the third, "is to find out how to do it."
"The first step," said the first, "is to abolish the Bible."
"The first thing," said the second, "is to abolish the laws."
"The first thing," said the third, "is to abolish mankind."
(from Fables , by Robert Louis Stevenson)

These "pro-choicers" seek to "save" humanity and human rights by
obliterating them.
