I am completely in support of butchery of millions of babies in Wherevistan... if doing so will make me safer, richer, and/or will increase my options. I am also in utter support of the complete dissolving of all militaries and the meltdown of all firearms... if doing so will make me safer, richer, and/or will increase my options.
Other people's lives usually are less valuable than mine. This is rational. Value is subjective. I can count the people I value more than myself on one hand, perhaps 2 if I am lucky enough to adopt children in my future.
And I especially do not value the faceless multitudes of the world at large: they haven't earned my friendship, and they likely have not earned my respect.
The hell would I join an army for? I hate conformity... and the army is nothing without all of its members looking the same. Besides, that's against my MO: it makes me less safe, poorer, and decreases my options.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
