Then enjoy your narrow-minded little world. And please leave the
rest of us alone, to live our lives according to *our* values,
which may not be the same as yours. (Incidentally, many of us have
no problem accepting the fact that our value systems differ. Instead
of retreating from this, we embrace it because (gasp!) someone else
may actually have a better idea...or because we recognize that how
people live their lives is entirely up to them.)

Get used to it. *Nobody* is required to share your values, and if you
expect them to, you will be consistently disappointed. You could always
try to *force* them to -- there's always a bull market for busybodies.
If that's your goal, I recommend joining an organized religion and
attempting to inflict it on everyone around you.

new parent, I have only one child, but I'm learning that there's a lot to
being a parent that you didn't expect." -- Dee Snider to Albert Gore Jr.
during the infamous "PMRC" hearings.
