lie.

It's only a lie if he doesn't believe it. I'd guess that he
does indeed believe it. Not in the sense that he thinks those
who disagree with him would say "No, of course I don't care
about life" but in the sense that he thinks that they, as a
matter of fact, care less about life as such than he does.
Another way of putting it (if one wanted to spin it the other
way) is that he cares more about *mere* life as opposed to
whether one has a life worth living. I see no lies here, just
differences of perspective.

If he really believes that those who disagree "as a matter of fact,
care less about life as such than he does" then it really is time he
started to listen to what those people are actually saying. I welcomed
his appointment because I thought he would be the kind of person who
does listen. Now I am much less sure of that.
