Included, sadly, are a significant slice of the Christian "ethics" community. By the way, Germany has forbidden Singer a pulpit anywhere in their country -- an act of censorship that I have a hard time wanting to picket or shout out against.....although I'm a big advocate of free speech. Given their history, it's totally understandable.

The truly frightning thing is that he is not just a madman locked away in a sanitarium for the insane, but a stellar professor at a major U.S. university. The price of true compassion today is eternal vigilance. May God protect us...from ourselves.
