Is there a way back to calling human beings human beings and not "meat"? Or is the sociopathic Jeffrey Dahmer undertone now the new normal?

Sure. Would you like WWII, medieval-era Christianity, or Khanate Asia?

stone age gets a vote from me!

What are you talking about, the only use of meat is in "Meat Shield", a phrase that's been around a long time now.

In the article, Ctrl+F for "meat" returns 3 results, while "human" returns 8. Seems like "human" remains the dominant word of choice in this author's vernacular.

Edit: Further, the only times "meat" appears is in the phrase "meat shield", which is an analogy that is very apt relative to the crux of the article.

Edit 2: "People" appears 13 times!
