Yes Steve. I would like to pop the last balloons of about one people right
now in Zaire for killing the Gorillas and selling their meat in the markets
and eating it in restaurants for $200 per pound. Animals almost always give
love. People don't. 

I have  friend that says the Nazi's Final Solution is perfectly acceptable
here to save the Gorillas from extinction. 

So you can now tell me that you think that it  'APPEARS' that I am 'TRYING
to rationalize. Of course that is precisely what Chase, et al., are doing,
including myself. We want to know what caused this man to lose it. I think
it was something that he learned in his early childhood. The hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world. People as adults just don't start sending dozens
of bombs in the mail to kill people after living previously saintly lives. 

We are not saying that he was innocent, nor morally correct, but we want to
know what is happening in side the mind of the person. Every read Crime and
Punishment, or the Animal Lover? Well they the main characters in these
stories thought that they were doing good. The acted like saints. But they
were acting criminally under the concept of the laws of the societies they
lived in. 

Animal Lover narrates the story of a person that has a 'deranged or criminal
mind' because of some pretty strange environmental ethics. From the book,
Animal Lover, by Laren Stover

"On Saturday I check out the petting zoo at Cone Island. I thought we could
get really close to the animals there. God, it was awful. Hoards of kids are
at the chick incubator tapping on the glass. Poor little peeps. All those
drooling, vulgar children squishing their runny noses against the glass and
banging on it, day in and day out, seven days a week, imprinting baby chicks
with their grape-juice-stained agression. This is no way to live. Somebody,
I'm thinking, ought to quietly pull out the plug to the heater. Sure they'd
huddle pathetically and shiver and die. But it wouldn't now be long before
they'd be out of their misery." 

"I felt most wound up when I saw the rabbits, sheep, goats and llama.
Children are actually allowed to physically molest them. Encouraged even.
What kind of person thought up this petting zoo concept? Some kind of a
sadist. I feel altruism building up a beautiful tension in my lower body.
This might be my mission in life." 

"The train is filled with evil adult Homo sapiens and their evil
undisciplined offspring playing pocket video games, crying and running up
and down the aisles, which gets to bad I almost consider going into a
smoking car. I have rash thoughts but I control them, except that I can't
resist tripping a noisy little brat when she runs by for the 500th time." 

[Pluto Hellbender Gerome]
