I'm conscious, I hope. It's better than being unconscious, except when I'm sleeping. |

The luxury of not having one is paid for, and the price is quite high.

But overall...no.
Too many examples of past improprieties.
slavery, native american genocide, guatemalan venereal disease testing, imperialism throughout the 19th & 20th centuries, etc... |

I don't think we are any better or worse than we've ever been at any point in time in history. We've constantly adjusted and, as a whole, have gotten better as a global society; but as individuals I think we're no better or worse than we've ever been. |

We like to think we take the high road at all times, but quite often, we'll bend the rules when it's beneficial to us individually. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
