A continuation of the discussion i was having with endymion23:

"Survival of the fittest" does not lose its meaning with sentience; sentience merely redefines "fittest". "Survival of the fittest" is glib tripe, anyway, right up there with "meaning of life" and "free will". It sounds cool; it isn't.

You misunderstand my statement of having something to prove. I have lots to prove to those whom i deem it necessary: myself, my wife, my family. I don't have to prove the world anything. I don't have to prove YOU anything.

I appreciate the condescending admission that i have "some degree of merit." My heart is filled with blood.

And we are not "more" than animals. We're just very smart animals. This is an important distinction.

I'm no fan of Dubya, but the man really was elected into office. As a nation, we're very used to jumping into wars that don't start with someone attacking us; nobody in the world wants war except for psychopaths and nuts; and we've forced wars to get started before, too. As for knowing people who fight in the war, hey, they signed up for it when they joined the Armed Forces.

Yes, it was the expression of the reaction that was whiny, but feeling helpless doesn't necessarily mean you have to sound helpless.
