    Agreed... and...

    Who is supposed to "monitor" society and prevent all those measures to
    control biological "quality" (since you like the term) at the expenses of a
    human life, namely a generator of change and DQ ?

    Why is intellect defending it's own codes? For its own survival sake ?

    Or is it because it's protecting human's evolution / DQ ?

    Since terrorist attacks are carried out at biological level, they demand a
    biological response. Which type of response is dictated by society, sure,
    but within a framework set up by intellect.

    Althought terrorist display a F-class behaviour, they are still people,
    A-class people.
    It's their behaviour that society has to address, not them as human beings.

    Similarly, when a child chucks a temper tantrum it's how his/her emotion
    are displayed that has to be corrected, not the emotions themselves or the
    reasons behind them.

    Yes, I am talking about terrorism as a form of childish behaviour carried
    out by grown ups when they can't prove their point and be "right" with
    other means.

    I've seen some examples of that on this list too. I don't consider that
    offensive and no offense is intended.
