Good Lord-- as a species are we really that dumb?
Cyranoak,
It is hurtful to me, to hear you calling some of us dumb. If your a was your daughter, you might understand a bit more, of how we wish our love could reach them. Unconditional love may not be what you feel for your wife, but it surely would be what you felt for your daughter. Because at the bottom of all these fears, is the main fear that they will die. and we cannot help but try any means possible.
Some people have a lot of faith in the power of love. You can cure lonliness with love. You can cure a lot of things with love. These ones you deride, maybe they need time to realize that it is a disease, and accept that they cannot cure a disease with love.
