I believe my example proves otherwise. Either we're hypocrites, in
which case you can apply the 13:1 ratio of the relative worth of
human life, or ... I don't know what the alternative is here.

Yup! We are for the most part hypocrites, blind to the other side of
the fence.

OK. I will accept that as at least partial agreement with the point I
