Is it possible for parents, out of ignorance, fear, spite, selfishness, hate ideology, etc, to act in ways harmful to their child? I believe the law should not assume that what are called 'parent's rights' should always be controlling.

Mankind, the missing link between apes and humans, are locusts. Everywhere we go, sooner or later everything dies. Why are we the worst barbarian species in the history of the planet? Because we are raised by our elders.

We are very efficient parasites!

Humans are both highly competitive and innovative and we tend to misuse our innovations. Take air planes as an example, they were intended to provide high speed transportation and they evolved into supersonic jet fighters and bombers built for war and destruction. There are several others.

Reminds me of Roger Waters lyric from his album Amused to Death, "give the human race a little bit of rope and they will fuck it up". And we do this extraordinarily well.

Hi Rajoo,

I'm not trying to play "know it all here", but, as a retired aircraft mechanic and lifelong aviation hobbyist I feel the need to set the record straight here. Aviation and the weaponization of aircraft grew up hand to hand together as twin siblings VS aviation being co opted into war machinery. Here is an article describing that development;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aerial_warfare

"The history of aerial warfare began in ancient times, with the use of kites in China. In the third century, it progressed to balloon warfare. Airplanes were put to use for war starting in 1911, initially for reconnaissance, and then for aerial combat to shoot down the recon planes. The use of planes for strategic bombing emerged during World War II. Also during World War II, Nazi Germany developed many missile and precision-guided munition systems, including the first cruise missile, the first short-range ballistic missile, the first guided surface-to-air missiles, and the first anti-ship missiles. Ballistic missiles became of key importance during the Cold War, were armed with nuclear warheads, and were stockpiled by the superpowers – the United States and the Soviet Union – to deter each other from using them."

As you can see here, it was only 8 years between Wilbur and Orville's 1903 first flight and the 1911 use of aircraft in war. In fact, the Wright's first customer for their newfangled flying machine was none other than the US Army.

Beyond all of that, I heartily agree with your point ......

And lest we not forget, nuclear power was first used to blow a couple cities to smithereens.

Your both part of the overall problem.
