Wow…

So I get it… angst about changing mores and values. Social evolution doesn’t ever stop with the current generation. Rick I’m assuming you probably knew your grandparents or have heard someone of that age,generation lament that the world is going to hell. Let women vote? Children can’t work 12 hour days? I could go on but you know all of this.

There are always those that would like the world to stay the same and they are always in a never ending fight with those who see a world that could be.

Both are aghast that the other could be so stupid etc.

This countries strength… indeed I believe it’s only HOPE is its diversity.

Think about it… 200 years ago, the good old days of great grandpa you were as likely to have animals for neighbors and if you had human neighbors they were more likely to be like you then unlike you.

That’s not true anymore, and it is increasingly true everywhere in the world as the world literally becomes ever so much smaller.

Bottom line is we ALL have to live a lot closer and closer means being more tolerant of each other.

There are countries, regions where neighbors of different sects of basically the same religion, who look the same, pray to the same god still routine seek one another out to slit their throats… no difference is tolerated. At all. These people, places and perhaps religions will vanish eventually. Evolve or die works for social evolution too.

The countries that will thrive, in modern terms, whatever that means, however it is defined at the time will be those that learn to coexist and tolerate diversity, to take the current unchangeable situation and make it a positive attribute, use it to their advantage, make lemonade from lemons as it were.

You know this to be true.

You or I, not unlike those from 200 years ago would be shocked to drop in on human society in a 100 years. That’s how the world works, always has in the past.

Abortions?? Having children who you don’t want, can’t want, are unable to raise, unwilling to raise, in a world with no shortage of people, let alone unwanted children…..I don’t know Rick, it’s a strange egocentric definition of humanity and morality.
