They both are professionals in that field -- Dr. Sanity was the mission psychiatrist for the ill-fated Challenger mission (neither a job without chops in general nor a trivial job under the resulting circumstances), and I believe Neo is a licensed professional psychologist.<br /><br />They both can make clinically accurate diagnoses where they are called for.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-35354832714052533502009-12-03T02:53:11.682-05:002009-12-03T02:53:11.682-05:00If we have learned nothing else over the past deca...If we have learned nothing else over the past decade, it is that human rights is simply a tool, not an overriding value, for the left. When it suits their purpose, such as its use as a cudgel to strike at the US, then human rights occupies a preeminent position for the left. When it is inconveinient, such as the rights of Muslim women generally, Afghani women in particular (as you have noted), then it can be studiously ignored. One needs training in at least the basics of psychology to even begin to fathom the motivations driving these people.GWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814327154035433443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-21779980122709608712009-12-03T01:15:19.574-05:002009-12-03T01:15:19.574-05:00> Or is their pacifism and anti-Americanism mor...> Or is their pacifism and anti-Americanism more important human rights? <br /><br />Yes.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
