This is not a political rant. As a father, and an ex-pilot, I want to
know the answer

Powerful ... unfortunately I'm not sure we'll ever learn. We crazy 
humans have been hurting and killing each other quite awhile now and it 
seems to be getting worse. As a young man I witnessed things that I 
still have bad dreams about and as an old man I mostly try not to pay 
attention to the state of things today because it brings a tear to my eyes.

I assume you refer to the unpleasantness in Indo-China. My personal
experience was in Angola - and no, I still refuse to talk about it.

That's how I interpret/react to a call to "Be human" by plaintiffs: No,
you do want to actually see more humanity. I prefer to be childish, or
animal.
