Sullivan is correct that our intellectual capability is about to outstrip our moral judgement, but not that it necessarily will lead to doomsday. What we will find, and are finding now, is that our failure to resolve certain moral questions correctly in law has made the fruits of reproductive and other biological technologies rather complex to handle. Some folks are likely to be hoist on their own petard; they just haven’t thought it through yet.

Let’s hope OBL only wants to scrifice all his young realatives but no himself.

If OBL gets really pissed off, and he’s getting older, so more cranky and more touchy, then he could decide to pull in the curtains for all of us.

Cash wise, he’s loaded and connected. Let’s hope he can’t buy any 1812 TG

The position I was quoting was Sullivan’s. Frankly I’m with Sean on the cavemen capacity…desire yes, capacity no. However, you are not far wrong with the small pox remark. There is still a little bit of smallpox in the world and one of the stores in the ex-Soviet Union is apparently not terrifically well guarded. The Chechens owe OBL.

Needless to say I was not suggesting wholesale slaughter of Muslims but rather the extermination of the cavemen. And it seems pretty clear that their whereabouts is known and that all that stops the Coalition from finishing the job is a bit of diplomatic nicety with Pakistan. I can’t see why Bush bothers. It is not as if he is much more popular in Pakistan than he is in Ann Arbor.

Saddam Hussein’s stores of botox are still unaccounted for.
