Pete, thank you for both proving my point and proving that you are a fool.
Since you brought up the KKK, yes, they are needed in this world. Because of the KKK, we have had visionaries like Martin Luther King find his life's purpose. Because of the evil that men do, good men have found great works to counter them. Because of the evils of the British Empire, great men like Ghandi changed the world and changed people's hearts. Because of men like Hitler, good men tested their mettle and found them selves capable of so much more, and gave all they could. It was because of their EMOTIONS that they were moved to do great things... Pontificating pompous windbags like your self, I guess you would call them animals wouldn't you... Because they live within their hearts and their emotions. Your own humanity is lacking. You are cold, empty, and condemn all those things that you can't have. You are little more than a wannabe vulcan, straight out of star trek. Emotion is what has made us great, and terrible, as human beings. The good and the bad. They co-exist with one another and as long as they do, there is balance. Remove one or the other, and you upset that balance. And that is a bad thing. With out dark, there is no point to having light. It takes light to cast shadow. All things co-exist for the benefit of others. We, as human beings, need events, people, happenings to provoke our emotional responses, otherwise we die inside, become zombies. From the heady rush of the feeling of all consuming love, to the face burning heart thumping gut churning feeling of witnessing evil. That lump you get in your throat when you stand on top of a mountain and look down, reveling in the beauty, to the soul crushing dispair you feel when viewing photos of the nazi concentration camps. These are the things that drive us, makes us human. We can not deny them, or repress them. It is in our better interests to react to them, for good or ill, and no one can tell where the far reaching ripples from the effects of our actions might reach.
I want nothing to do with your definition of human... I'd rather be an animal.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
