    Not buying it. Mankind and fellow man are the same thing. I think Prager was trying to be as eloquent as Mark Twain's quote*, but fell well short.

    I guess it matters where we focus. Mankind, or even Womenkind, is made up of all of us.

    There are lots of good people 'within' mankind.

    Stop being difficult and parsing words." Mankind " as in humankind or humanity.
    Humans as a group.Humans as a group have been the bane of much in society.

    The Damned Human Race
    " Of all the animals,man is the only one that is cruel.
    He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.It is a
    trait that is not known to the higher animals. "
    -- Samuel Langhorne Clemens { " Mark Twain " }

    This is one area women should feel pride in.Since throughout History it has
    been the Man { male in society } who governed and waged war.It is man who
    has shed the blood of others and burned villages and cities.
    Going back to the archeological fundementals of Man as Hunter and
    Woman as Gatherer.
    Man { males } seem to have more of an animal/hunter instinct than Woman.
    That is why while little Bobby likes to play rough in the dirt and throw stuff around,
    little Susie is playing with dolls and preparing to be a homemaker.

    I saw a sign yesterday that said, "if women ruled the world there would be fewer wars. Just a bunch of countries not speaking to each other."

    Looking back in hindsight at the many and varied roles of Robin Williams,
    I doubt one could site many where he demonstrated such a cocksure juvenile
    attitude to defend his character or role.
    chalk it up to mere ... Food for Thought.
