"Who did that and what shall we call it?!"
Evolutionarily we are wired to look for a "who" cause, so that we can fend ourselves from threat of danger.
Not everything has a "who did it" cause. Science has been taking the "who" out of these questions and will continue to do so.

How we all compromise ourselves to death behind a veneer of cosy acquiescence.

I agree LEP. People associate this change in where we get our energy from, with pain. People are motivated to avoid pain and seek pleasurable feelings and situations. We need a "feel good" campaign to encourage change.

Brilliant article, thank you for speaking out about this frightening nonsense.There's too much namby-pambying around to this insanity.

LEP, yeh, they would also make nice museums one day, and venues for parties. I know of a Church, "St Pauls" that was converted in to nightclub. Not sure it made as much $$$ as it did when it was a Holy Place of Worship and Tit$$thing though.

I know I'll get a laugh every time I see LEP in the mix!! hahah.

As far as accepting "easy credit", yes I agree about the evolutionary basis of this. Early humans were often rewarded by impulsive behavior.

Should I pay back the cost of my education to former share holders of "Telecom", which is where my Dad worked when I was being educated? What about my friend, whose parents worked at BP when their education was paid for? Then there's Hung Sa restaurant, which my other friend's parents owned. Should they pay back the patrons for their education? Diabolical illogic ...........

As social networking sites proliferate our lives, we are less susceptible to the lure of a religious group for company. We are less needy of a one pointed view in order to feel like we belong.
Paper drops from the church lose their potency, replaced my a community of readers galvanized to enlightenment by the next they can read, and share, from the internet. It is a wonderful thing. Variety rocks. It aids the individual to self reflect about their OWN opinion in the face of ideas they might never have been exposed to before. Reflection. A privelige of the comparitively $$rich$$, the well endowed DNA and the good environment.

Enough to make you purge; that's glurge alright! Right on the mark Blacksun.
