     This article is worth some consideration I think.<\/span><\/p>\n

     There is one big fallacy in social Darwinism not pointed out though and it is simply this, NONE of us live forever.  Dick Cheney might be on his eighth heart but sooner or later one will fail or he’ll die of a stroke or cancer or some other disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

     There is a reason I have come to think more highly of animals that are not people, than animals that are people.  The former are honest, most of the latter are liars.  I do cherish greatly those few who are capable of honesty.
