Pluto:
Proof that clearing surrounding celestial debris from your orbit matters

I don't think any of the reasons this author gives would justify actively killing African babies. So I don't see why it should justify letting them die due to innaction.

I agree the passive version of the golden rule is a little more sensible. For example I would like it if Jessica Alba broke into my house and molested me but I don't think it follows that I should actively go out of my way to break into Jessica Alba's house and molest her.

I saw Newhart on the graph. So it could be that Tommy is a figment of Newhart's imagination.
