Sometimes I Hate People

Humanity is not perfectible. Neither is the human condition. There is always going to be something dark in the human soul that cannot, I think, ever be done away with. Sometimes you see it in something horrific, like a murderer or a terrorist or a rapist. Sometimes, you see it in the little things.

I'm kind of depressed this morning.

Dante has a place in Hell for people like this.

Being a "cat person" I find this particularly hideous. To be honest, I think more Americans would react if it had been a puppy instead of a kitten. Historically cats have been subject to much greater superstition & abuse than have dogs.

The greate SF writer Poul Anderson tended to use little girls and kittens as penultimate symbols vulnerable helplessness, to great effect.

I don't know that you can call this evil, at least in a certain sense that people are capable of things like this if they cannot empathize with the victim at all. Which of course is why certain groups demonize thier opponents. It's easy to murder, rape, or slaughter your enemies if they aren't human.

When it comes to abusing animals, I suggest the "Wyatt Earp" method as applied in the movie "Tombstone", where Kurt Russell's character grabbed the rope out of the hands of a man beating a horse, smacked the crap out of him with it, and asked "Hurts, don't it?"
