DAVID: Do you want to pay the taxes for that stupid grant money? On the basis of empathy? We owe them proper animal husbandry. We don't owe them for our development, but must use our development to properly protect them.
> But empathy requires precisely the sort of understanding that comes about through increased knowledge. So let 'em have their grants.-It still depends on the grant. Grants that try to prove the Darwinist approach that we are simply naked apes are worhtless and there are lots of those. Read Tallis' Aping Mankind to understand that point of view.
