Apparently NDP leadership contenders are having fits trying to find a comfortable stand on Quebec’s Bill 62 to ban face coverings while providing or receiving public services. I don’t mean I personally doubt that humans are neither animals nor things, or rather, are not just animals or things. For instance we worry about the morality of killing animals; mere animals don’t. If so we are not moral agents, just animals, and in being just animals just things, mechanical and pointless. And if we are not more than animals and things, it’s very hard to believe we have rights.
