We stand by as children starve by the millions because we lack the will to end hunger.

It is a profound distortion of humanity's purpose on earth.

The usual sniggering examples of animal behaviour were brought in to explain cheating. Funny how the behaviour of shrews and gibbons is never used to explain table manners or road safety or gardening, only sex. Anyway, it was bad Darwinism. Taking the example of a monkey and applying it to yourself misses the point that animal behaviour is made for the benefit of the species, not as an excuse for the individual.

Do this with regard to children, to a spouse, to public post, to riches, and you will eventually be a worthy guest at the feast of life.
