<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amen brother Robert. I am completely with you
there. Unfortunately "we" only have limited power to solve these problems. Most
people don't have the stomach to do what needs to be done. That can be seen in
Iraq. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But you need to have some faith in yourself Robert.
You would not do these kinds of things. And you would stop them if you had the
power. I know you would. You are the kind of person who would deserve to be
uploaded. If I were a god of the future, I would resurrect you. Maybe one day
through technology we can find a way to deal with these bad people without
hurting and killing hundreds and thousands of good people in the process. Then
it will be easier to fix it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I do not subscribe to your notion of a lower
level gene driven program of genocide. If anything it's a defense mechanism
where they feel that if they do not kill, they will be killed. I think that even
if they were all genetic clones, after years of being taught different things,
living in different cultures and experiencing different lives, they would still
be killing each other. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>It is more than "competition for mates" -- something that you might
see in any school or corporation or other typical developed world social
environment (that which most readers are used to). It is a low level
gene driven higher intellectual capacity supported program of genocide.
<BR><BR>The special news report I saw, which I believe was by one of the major
news networks, was about Arab militiamen explicitly engaging in raping native
African women and explicitly marking their bodies to indicate that they had
been raped (and therefore undesired as partners). It is no secret that
genocide is occurring at a level just below that which might attract an
aggressive response (which is a sad comment on our "state" as a
"civilization"). It is one thing to try and settle differences between
groups of relatively equal parties (Sunni's & Shia) -- something which may
be relatively impossible. It is another thing to ignore differences
between people incapable of equivalent engagement (militia and refuges).
<BR><BR>What is surprising is that we debate endlessly day in and day out what
happens after nanotechnology arrives and we all upload or the fine points of
what it means to be an individual and it seems we place little value on
thousands to millions of lives being lost due to the actions of a few we
choose to ignore ( e.g. Sudan president Omar <SPAN
class=post_item>Al-Bashir).<BR><BR>It makes me wonder if "we" deserve to be
uploaded. I for one would view the rationalization as difficult.
If we cannot make good judgements now, how can we be expected to make them in
the future? <BR><BR>The CBS citation is particularly revealing, "</SPAN><B>I'm
sorry to say I'm going to sit here with you in two years time and I'm gonna
tell you the same sad story. People will say, 'Ich habe nicht gewusst,' which
is German for 'I didn't know."'"</B> "<BR><BR>Robert<BR><BR>1. <A
