Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature -- that baby beating its breast with its fist, for instance -- and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears, would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? (Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)Why that is exactly what modern Western civilization has staked "women's liberty" on, and therefore the modern future utopia. Have we Westerners taken on the character of the god we really believe in?
As Jefferson said(?), "The tree of liberty must be nourished with the blood of unborn babies!"
