Interesting coincidence. I was just yesterday thinking of terming the torture position "Omelasian."
As an aside, the ones who walk away are also moral failures from the pro-specks standpoint. They should be fomenting revolution, not shrugging and leaving.
I agree with this. I didn't mention it because I wasn't prepared to address how that modified the argument.
