A few curiosities:
Many of the same people who insist that the the most important issue facing the country is the national debt we are leaving to our children and grandchildren are willing to glibly bet the entire future of those same children, grandchildren and beyond on their conveniently self-serving belief that the world's climate scientists are idiots.
People can get appropriately incensed about a video currently circulating in which an adult woman seizes a baseball out of a child's hands at a major league game, and they feel quite comfortable in labeling her evil. How many of those people are similarly infuriated by the greedy adults who have taken nutritional assistance, or food stamps if you will, away from thousands of similar children. Oops, I forgot, they're just moochers.
And of course there are the long-standing traditions in some circles of being more concerned with humans in the fetal stage of development than in any of the post-birth stages, and of holding firmly to the belief that all life is sacred, except for those evil lives the state needs to take by execution.
There. That felt good.
