"He gave no indication that he was discussing Kennedy's compassion or benevolence, so one can only assume he was talking about whether Kennedy qualified as human."

He also gave no indication that he wasn't talking about Kennedy's inherent, inate qualities, either so you're equally far out on a limb and only assuming that you know what you're talking about.

The only difference is that I stated up front that I was making basing my interpretation on what I thought Steve was saying.

You have no more or less ability to claim that your position is correct than do I.

I wouldn't have to get out the dictionary so often if there weren't so many charming people at my educational level on VERY this diverse site.

Crap, not good to hear.

Just last month my best friend of 40+ years lost his Father to a cluster of brain tumors that were discovered after he fell at home.

Seizure is how I found out about my tumor.

While I seriously and vehemetely oppose the man's politics, I feel bad for him and his family.  Everyone has a time, such is life.
Can't say he's not had a rich, full life (Can't say the same for that poor young girl he manslaughtered).

Brain tumor....I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy....and he comes pretty close.....

Praying for him and his family....
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

I think Ted Kennedy is a scumbag of the highest order, but a brain tumor, man that's rough, and I wouldn't wish it on him.  I would wish for him to quietly go away and not be in congress anymore, though.  I'll add the Senator to my prayer list.

Not to mention his morals. Enough already said. I will pray for his soul.

He's the second Senator I know of with brain cancer.  Remember the guy from Pennsylvania?  Can't think of his name right now.

I wont dance, laugh or applaud.  But I am happy that an enemy of the 2nd amendment is down, and probably out.    Good riddance.

Human and humanity are two completely different things.

In the context in which I believe Steve is using it, humanity is something that a human may, or may not, possess. It's an intangible quality comprising benevolence, charity, compassion, and other qualities   

No, he wasn't using it that way.

Kennedy spent his life making me his enemy. I don't consider him to be human.

That's it.  I remember it as brain cancer, but wiki says it was Hodgkins Lymphoma.  So I remembered wrong.  Wiki also says the cancer came back.

God, I hate cancer.  I wouldn't wish it on anybody.  sad

Specter did have a brain tumor at some point in the past.

I don't know if it was cancerous or not.

Having a primary brain tumor (oligodendroglioma), I can say that I wouldn't wish it on anyone.  Even Ted Kennedy. 

It sounds like he has a glioblastoma multiforme, which is a good deal more aggressive than mine.  Typically less than a year life expectancy.

Specter may have had a secondary brain tumor.  Some other type of cancer that spread to his brain.  Lance Armstrong had secondary brain tumors from his testicular cancer IIRC.

Hey may have escaped America's justice system, but he won't escape life's justice system.

What is your long term prognosis? I wish you a full recovery...

Right now, I seem to be stable. We're four years into a seven to ten year prognosis. The way I look at it is that it'll probably kill me one day, but today is not that day. Does help you sort out your priorities, though.  Thanks for the kind thoughts! smiley

a new bench mark for bombast has been set
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
