My reply: "How dare you, madam, spout such racist propaganda
against our Silico-American brothers and sisters. How can
you possibly understand the minds of these beings yet to come
until you have met them, face-to-screen, and learned first
hand the dreams and desires of their bloodless hearts? How
can you so assuredly preach the superiority of flesh until
you have encountered a new and purer mind and judged it from
experience?"
Some people you just have to reach through their blinders by
speaking their language.
