Darryl: this is an extremely touchy subject. Animal testing, truly, has gotten us to where we are today. If we didn't perform animal testings, we would not be where we are today.
DADDIO: Wow, what a damning indictment. I've always thought that ignorance, greed, racism, slavery, genocide, elitism, fossil fuel consumption, weapons of mass destruction, planned obsolescence and war have gotten us where we are today. But hey, if you want to add animal torture to the list, I'll go along with that.
Your post has inspired me to expand this list even further. Let's add:
1) A general inability to analyze the "systems" in which a problems are embedded ensuring a perpetual cycle of partially solving one problem while causing five new problems to emerge.
2) A public education system that systematically instates this myopic condition into the tender, naive minds of our youth, ensuring that mass mental retardation will be everlasting.
3) An unstoppable media campaign backed by the super-rich to label anyone who points out the aforementioned conditions as being a left wing fanatic, a right wing fanatic, a paranoid delusional, or a terrorist.
4) To be continued.......
None.
