Ah so what you really meant is that the value is high-er here. That I can buy. But as we are still killing/torturing prisoners, killing unborn babies, and supporting companies that in turn support sweat shops I'd say we have a way to go.

They should sell cans of Infanticide at the supermarket.

Yes. The evolution of mankind toward something more, better, than what it is now I suspect will be a long and very rocky road. I do, however, remain optimistic.

All evidence to the contrary...

Taking the above statement as normative, I will no longer consider creationists as having cornered the market on baseless optimism.

It's freakin Texas for cryin' out loud. They're a couple of decades begin civilized society.

You know what I like about Texas? I like those long and desolate stretches of highway in the west of it. I like how you can kick down them at about a million miles an hour feeling for all the world like the harbinger of a hidden holocaust.

Texas is the landscape of the soul, chum. Only the strange survive.

West Tehhhhhas certainly does remind one of the landscapes in Mad Max. A man could go mad out there.

I'd have to agree here. There may be a shitstorm going on out there in the Christian Right about sex and not having it, but when you look at the kids today, they are not following that crap at all. I went to a wedding recently for a kid I've know for awhile, and just looking around at the girls, who are hovering around 20 years old, I can see that they aren't worried about it. Three girls in the wedding party, including the bride, were pregnant. There were also about a dozen of the guests that were either pregnant or had babies, and the rest of the girls were dressed and acting like they were pretty much active in the sex department.

Society as a whole may be going crazy about it, but when you look at the kids, they are not paying attention to that crap at all. Granted, looking at the girls at this wedding, or on all those "Girls Gone Wild" tapes, or just other vids on the internet or stories in the news, this is a small demographic, but the stigma is no longer there. Go ahead, have sex, do whatever, it doesn't seem to be right or wrong anymore, it's just having fun.

Also, for the most part: Humanity has pretty much NO redeeming qualities. I expect the worst from them, and I'm disappointed on an almost daily basis by how seldom they let me down. Stuff like the baby abandonments doesn't even surprise me anymore.
