Now that's a prolist comment.  Some proles know better than to follow their
herd according to their programming, but choose that path, knowing they
choose it because of their programming.  Prolism is a failure to recognize
that our world is full of those who choose this life.  It overlooks the fact
that proles and animals are free.  Furthermore, never have we had it as good
as we do now.  So it is possible to simultaneously have a prole life and be
pro-choice.
