Don't get me wrong, I think of myself as being pretty liberal if I have to attach a term to myself, but I believe that becoming overly compassionate as a species would be detrimental to our well being. At what point are we just being overly optimistic fools? With 7 billion people in the world or whatever it's up to these days, we have to hold people responsible for their own actions. There are bad people out there, and it shouldn't be up to the rest of us to worry about sorting them out. We've got bigger fish to fry.
