But in either case the result for you is the same.


I'm simply trying to get across in this discussion how offensive I 
find it when anyone suggests that the death of every human on Earth 
or a substantial fraction of them is A Good Thing, especially when 
the people making the suggestion are clearly talking about Someone 
Else doing the dying, and one way to get across how offensive it is 
is to ask the people who are convinced that it would be such A Good 
Thing why they don't lead by example instead of (implicitly or 
explicitly) expecting Someone Else who does not necessarily agree 
that it would be A Good Thing if most or all humans died off to do 
the dying . . .
