assistant: Ok, I'll bite.
No, no, no, and maybe.
Only if the Hillary jokes don't try to mine "humor" out of her looks.
Neither are right, the real question is who makes the decisions.
Trees have feelings? Only ones I can think of is when they're cut down
or get burned in a forest fire, that's when they say "ouch!" <G>
And a few animals CAN conceptualize, depends on what it is and how
intellegent the animal.
And yes, the fetus IS a "blob of protoplasm." So is any animal.
Actually, I do like Capra films, at least the ones I haven't seen ad nauseum,
like "It's a Wonderful Life."
And I've always liked Rockwell paintings.
And the films you mention, realistic? Doubt it. Boring? Yes.
Anyone who thinks that never saw "Fantasia."
No and no.
 Yes and no.
No and no.
No and no.
No and sometimes.
No and no.
NO! and even more so, NO!!
Sometimes and you've got to be kidding!
No, no, and no.
