For starters, there is precious little created by humans that somebody, somewhere has not figured out a way to abuse. So if we judge a philosophy by its abuse we might as well throw everything out the window.   How then do we judge the value of anything?

Who is the judge of what is abuse or not?

That would be me, but I've had some time off. I assume everything in the world is still just dandy!



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
