One can be absolutely sure that if a country is named a “People’s Republic” it will be a totalitarian hellhole. It is now becoming clear that at the University level, “ethicists” are anything but. Like Princeton’s Pete Singer who deems it ethical to kill children, or to have sex with (presumably) consenting animals, we now have a Doctoral candidate in Applied Ethics who has found a rationale for murdering children in another setting via an essay entitled "In Defense of Terrorism: When is it Permissible to Target Children?"
On Thursday, March 10, the "philosopher" in question, a Mr. Jason Gatliff, returned to Boise State University, his alma mater, to give a speech on just this topic. The speech was paid for by the Boise State University Philosophy Department - and BSU, like BGSU, is a public institution. This fact, it must be noted, imbues the following account of his argument with an irony that is infinite, sweet, and rich.

Isn't it amazing how the study of humanities has become, at every level, so fundamentally inhumane? Such a tragedy...
