♦ nivek ♦ Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Man is a cruel animalTruthDig by Chris Hedges "Those who attempt to mend the flaws in the human species through force embrace a perverted idealism. Those who believe that history is a progressive march toward human perfectibility, and that they have the moral right to force this progress on others, no longer know what it is to be human. In the name of the noblest virtues they sink to the depths of criminality and moral depravity. This self-delusion comes to us in many forms. It can be wrapped in the language of Western civilization, democracy, religion, the master race, Liberte, egalite, fraternite, the worker's paradise, the idyllic agrarian society, the new man or scientific rationalism. The jargon is varied. The dark sentiment is the same." (12/22/08) http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/200812...a_cruel_animal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
