A Despicable Decision — What Was Bloomberg Thinking?

SEE HERE This was pointed out to me by a group that I belong to and one of the members was reminded of C.S. Lewis's passage from The Abolition of Man which goes:
"Men without chests ,...without a passion for good and a hatred of evil." "We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise, we laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate, and bid the geldings be fruitful."

To honor the dead and exclude God is to make a travesty.
For God's sake let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed,
All murdered.
(Richard II, 3.2.155-160)
