  note HUMANS CLAIM TO BE THE SOLE MORAL ANIMAL
       perhaps facts are in reverse
  HUMANS ARE THE SOLE IMMORAL ANIMAL based on the
  CLAIM THAT ONLY HUMANS HAVE A CAPACITY TO LIVE
  UNDER A MORAL RULE BUT CAN NOT DO SO

  perhaps IDEAS AND IDEALS ARE AMONG THE MEASURES OF
          REALITY AND AS SUCH CONCERN SCIENCE
  WHILE MEASURES OF HUMANITY ARE THE SUBJECT OF HUMANISM
  SCIENCE IS AN IDEA REALIZED
  OFTEN A MYTH MADE VISIBLE AND COMPREHENSIBLE
  EXPERIMENTS GIVE BIRTH TO FACTS NEEDED TO FULFILL THEORIES
  THE FORMER IS TECHNOLOGY AND THE LATER IS CULTURE
  A DISPROPORTION IN EITHER IS THE STUFF OF RELIGION AND POLITICS
  AN EXCESS OF EITHER IS AN OMEN OF DECAY
