[MD] S/O and Morality

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
I thought we also agreed that in certain cases fear was 
intellectually justified and that it was often difficult to tell the 
difference.

[Arlo]
I don't know if the use of doomsday rhetoric is every justified, 
unless one accepts that we as a people are so numb that the only way 
to get our attention is to shout "the sky is falling!" I would agree 
that there are things we should be concerned about, and our concerns 
should be articulated clearly, and without recourse to fear-rhetoric.
