As much as I like Goldman (her two-volume autobio is must reading), I cannot
go along with this morality grafting biz. Are kindness, sympathy, empathy,
forgiveness and love merely electro-magnetic impulses, or artificial
constructs that we "graft" on to our true brutal selves? Watching my two
kids grow, I'd have to say no.
