"Ummm, was he trying to bring about the end of the human race? Or was he just plain crazy and stupid?"
----------------------------------------------------
I would suggest crazy caused by stupidly for believing and thus following the teachings prevalent in the Victorian era in England. Ever sense a record of man's history has been recorded it show's when religious beliefs beyond believing in a supreme power and the creation that followed is modified and added on to by man, common sense is overtaken by stupidity. Stupidity that reflects in every negative action in the entire population of the world as we know it.
Practicality is replaced by mythical teachings. Kellogg and cronies beliefs that sex was sinful was really no different then those hundreds at Jones town or those dying to catch the tail of a comet. Then of course the bloody history of religious wars that are present to this day. The infant male penis is nothing more then a single pawn in the world of inequities caused by craziness in the minds of mankind that is taught as no one is born programmed to kill, hate, thinking sex is sinful or that the foreskin should be removed. But RIC is an example of just how wrong beliefs can be started, many times by a single man, accepted by followers, developed in to a religious or culture norm, promoted and past from generation to generation. Right this moment infant males are having their penises painfully and senselessly modified because dad had his senselessly and painfully modified. Call it stupidity or craziness, either or both apply.
