“means that states must apply the law equally and cannot discriminate against people or groups of people arbitrarily” (Bill of Rights Institute). How does this even remotely relate to cyborgs of the future you ask? Well would the law still encompass humans who are twenty to thirty percent metal and silicon? This would be a problem for our predecessors to make either out of compassion for these once-lame personages or fear for what they can do. The commencement of the separation, segregation, and…
This quote challenges the reader to go out and break barriers. Percy states that the “loss” is when the consumer (humans) “accepts the role [as consumer] as the highest role they can be (Percy 6).

We can’t control the consequences of our actions, but I know that we sure as hell can control how we go about dealing with them. Couldn’t you have at least tried to make things seem okay? Why is it that you’re unable to see the simple beauty of a human life? How can you do this to your own daughter? I am part of you, you know that, right? On the third day of October in the year of 2000, my mother gave birth to an “oops baby”. That baby was me. On that chilly, autumn morning, my biological…

However, neither through religious worships nor through RELIGIOUS INSTINCT ‘DERAILED’ DERIVATIONS such as the materialistic worships, political parties, and ‘man-made’ science, Terrestrial Humans HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO…
through this belief, am able to be forgiven and spend eternity in heaven. Prayer is an important part of my relationship with God but the trinity is confusing. The nature of the world is fallen, but humans are inherently good. We are able to have knowledge and understanding through science. The human brain was created to grow and expand.
