I feel more about people suffering than animals but only if I really see the people and the animals. I ought to feel more about 50 dead in Iraq then a local teen dying in a car crash, but the reverse is true. Thus the dead dog hits me hared than the starving in Africa. It's a wiring problem. Photos, and personal stories help make tragedy far away more real. The greatest moral instruments of modern times are the camera and the internet.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
