"...in the scheme of important Q&A, I think I'd rate not knowing when human rights begin over how many houses you have." Not me.
'When life begins' is a complicated, philosophical, individual question for most people. 'How many houses you have' is a simple question even a child should be able to answer.
I don't have a simple answer to the first question myself, and the answer is not the same for most people, so if I did have an answer, I wouldn't proclaim it as if it were truth. However, I'm certain that I do own
one house. There is only one answer each person should give to this question. And 'er...um...well' isn't it.
People who give strong, immediate, definite answers to complicated 'moral' questions make me nervous.
