It's not that two wrongs can make a right....
It's just that there is rarely such thing as "wrong" and "right" in those absolute terms. I'm thinking that is a major difference in world view between some on the left and some on the right - and, of course in religion also.

In my world, you don't go to EITHER heaven or hell.....by one marking point (71 goes to heaven, 69 to hell)......but rather you study the nuances of situations against ALL the various inputs and outputs. As PB so well put it, the holy grail of "fuzzy logic".....not meaning fuzzy in the sense of those of you who may have a few too many drinks- rather the current definition:

"Fuzzy logic is a form of multi-valued logic derived from fuzzy set theory to deal with reasoning that is approximate rather than precise. In binary sets with binary logic, in contrast to fuzzy logic named also crisp logic, the variables may have a membership value of only 0 or 1"

As you can see, right and wrong are 0 and 1.

If I were to accept right and wrong in that way, I would say that the killings and displacements of millions of Afghans and Iraqis by OUR forces is wrong. How can their be a question about that? Well, there is......among many. Welcome to the graduated scale of right, wrong, ethics, morality, philosophy, etc.

If there really was a right or wrong - it would simply be do under others....which certainly does not make dropping bombs and killing vast numbers of civilians right.

So I really cannot debate whether a science program which attempts to advocate for women is wrong or right in the sense you see it. Any side of most issues can be debated with shards of truth...sometimes more.

I'd rather not go through life always considering myself the victim of the numerous plots which seem to favor other people. All in all, I think being born a white and healthy male of relative means...in the USA in the 20th century - is hitting the jackpot. After that, it's all good. I have done very well finding ways to use my talents.
