Reply #59: Of course. My intent was not to say that they are homo sapiens.

But rather that I disagree with the practice of using singular events to condemn the whole of a person's being. The way I figure it, to condemn the whole of a person would require an omniscience that not a single one of us has. That, and also I make a distinction between the action and the actor. I don't think that people doing "bad" things makes them "bad" people, nor do I think that people doing "good" things makes them "good" people. I think that, quite simply, we are all just people and, as a consequence, make many decisions. Some of those decisions are good, and some of those decisions are bad, but I don't think that we are qualified to say whether anyone is an angel or a demon as a result of one or two of those decisions.
