Bo, Platt, and others,
Thanks Bo for your post which reminded me of something. Death of a
biological being is a biological matter. Biological life and death knows no
social rules or values or intellectual values either. Place any biological
living under the pending reality of death they will naturally (biologically
speaking) resist death. To die for one's social cause is unnatural (again,
biologically speaking). But because of the social values and structures
designed to maintain quality, death of individual (biologically speaking) is
seemingly a small price for to the greater good maintaining the good or
quality of the social level. The Iraqi war is a sad reminder of how death
for the social quality of Radical Islam is pitted against the death of
American soldiers that are enforcing an intellectual precept that democracy
is worth that very sad price death, for a greater good of society.
Just a thought,
Mati
