Okay, so you made your point, now go sit in the back and let others have something to say about what others have to say. It's a tough issue to address, a sensitive issue but maybe you are worried about something else, M.E. image perhaps. I think it is philosophical and worthy of in depth analysis but I can see that most are threatened by the mere mention of it. Why is that? Chris, your interpretation of the thread topic does not set any standard for the rest of the membership, I'm sure Lonlaz would have something more pertinent to add as well as others. If we as a society do not recognize that which is detrimental to our society we will continue to sink down the tube. If you want to flex your moderator muscle I will delete the thread.
