Well, >=Martillo; yep, he's at it again.  Whenever bilious hatred overtakes
your ability to reason or think, just flame out and associate the group
that offends you with the Nazis--right, Martillo?  You clearly either
don't know a damn thing about humanism or you're deliberately (and
maliciously) distorting.

Actually, humans set the standards in all philosophies.  Humanists just
happen to take honest responsibility for doing so.
