The sad thing is - this isn't the bottom of the barrel - it's spiraling down, with no end in sight. I'm really concerned just how far down this rabbit hole society is going to go. We used to admit people with these types of thoughts into asylums in the past - now we give them a degree and a place of influence in society!
You ever watched a session at The Senate or Question Time in Parliament and compared that behavior to chimps in a zoo?
I can see why they want to give chimps the same standing as humans - aren't chimps one gene away from humans anyway?
