dick, Those standards of the time also included slavery, a complete lack of voting or other basic civil rights for women, etc. etc. You forgetting that? A "standard" is not automatically good and noble jsut because it was ONE of the "standards" held by the people that founded this country. Sheeeeet, it was also commonly believed at the time that regular bathing was unhealthy and dangerous. Ooooh, I feel a little sick, think I'll go and bleed myself to get rid of the "bad humours" that are the cause of my sickness.
