of the Tree of Life
can be modified
by 'what-if' counterfactuals
perhaps someday allowing a ranking
of crimes against humanity
eg charles kettering
parlaying a patent
on leaded gasoline
into a significant worldwide decline
in human IQs
or archer-daniels-midland
imposing corn sweetener
in place of sugar
or judith miller in the ny times
egging the christian gentiles
into a $400 billion quagmire
against the muslim gentiles
for the benefit of israel
or the anonymous pentagon bureaucrats
who approved depleted uranium
for use in conventional munitions
