>David: I don't buy the approach of the second link at all. I have free will. I am not a machine.-> No. Many people are like that. But many of us are not.-My original statement was not, and has never been, that ALL people are bad, or that ALL people try to avoid accountability. I've repeatedly said otherwise. My point was that the materialistic reductionist evolutionary perception of reality forms the basis of the rejection of accountability for the actions of a great many people. Not everyone, but many. We talk in stereotypes, often, I just mistakenly assumed that it was understood that for every stereotype there are a large number of outliers.
