The Charter for Compassion

There is one thing I share with religious people, and that is a belief in the Golden Rule. What would be really cool is if those religious fucknuts actually practiced it.

The Charter for Compassion is an attempt to do exactly that. The Charter is a product of TED which is familiar to cerebral types who watch the addictive videos from their annual conferences. You can learn more here.

The problem with the Golden Rule is that it is too often divorced from any larger intellectual framework. I'm sure the Spanish Inquisition thought they were doing their victims a favor by saving their souls through torture. Humans don't lack compassion but common sense. Today, leftards and fasctards fall into the same shitheaded thinking proposing things that promote the greater good at the expense of the individual.

The Golden Rule without acknowledgment of individual rights is not compassion. It is ignorance using compassion as cover for atrocity. Without respect for life, liberty, and property, "compassionate" people are nothing more than faux saints wielding power for their own ego gratification. Bono from U2 would be a great example of this colossal arrogance and ignorance. (Am I bugging ya? I don't mean to bug ya.)

This project will probably be nothing more than cover for a socialist agenda. We will have to wait and see.
