Ron,
As a customer of yours, a non Jew, a Human Being who is trying to Be Human, a
former
USAF pilot, a son, husband, father, and brother I strongly and wholeheartedly
agree with your comments, and applaud your support of the "center".
Sometimes there is no "middle" ground, and this is one of those times. I would
like to reference a short paper intitled:
Are Human Beings, Being Human?
Human Being is a title not a biological term. Biologically we are all Homo
Sapians. There are many Homo Sapians on this planet, and very few, Human Beings
