The Motives of Activists

[BrownEye]

Let's say we are walking down the road and suddenly we see a little boy playing with his cat in the middle of the street and there is a large truck bearing down on them.

Is there any doubt which one you would try to pull out of the way if you only had enough time to save one?

This whole discussion about priority, honor and compassion is multifaceted and cannot be laid out so simply. Are we really going to let the child be run down and killed and excuse our ignorance by suggesting that the truck was the catalyst toward a learning lesson of some sort?

A good friend of mine died when he saved his puppy from getting hit by a train. The guy was always smiling and always the optimist. Thinking back on that, I feel honored to have been his friend. It also just created a huge pressure in my chest thinking about this.
