I received the following comment via email:

"Not one idea in the fragile white book is new to me. I admire your discipline in tolerating reading thIS repugnant author. ;) She is an oozing wound inflicted on society by the rebels who wish to overcome their persistent oppression. They aRe laughing. They may.have worn down some people into a brainwashed askew, but FOR ME, their message has arrived at Tiresome. And I have moved somewhere beyond the land of compassion. Ha!

On another note, I would like to suggest the essence of humanity is probably not "to be a rational animal", though I get your contrasting point about accidents. (I call these things "variations on a theme", just a variation within the human biological expression, like tall, short, XY, XXXXXXYY genes, lazy, industrious, etc.)

I think the essence of humanity is BIOCHEMISTRY. WITHOUT WHICH, there is no human emotion and no thought."
