Nothing whatsoever.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I've never seen being a human as a "condition".

Everything about being human.

The human condition doesn't include Americans. It's only experienced by proper humans.

I'm sure I'll regret this but,

I never liked the expression 'Human Rights'.

It's so open to non-sensical mis-use.


e.g. Is the west depriving some people in africa of their 'human rights' by not protecting them from religous abuse?

How far can you take such a concept? :think:
