I don't know what you mean, though. Tom Send a noteboard - 17/12/2012 05:53:44 PM
If you believe that in the last 30 years Americans have become more selfish, self-absorbed and materialistic I am not going to argue it. If you want to point out that our sense of community has been eroded and the traditional support of churches is waning along with traditional churches themselves, I am not going to argue it. If you're going to go on and try to score cheap political points by using it to make some radical socioeconomic or political point, then you're full of shit and we both know it - I will be content to know, for you to know I know, and to know you know I know.

However, no one's going to argue with you if your point is just that people are petty and selfish.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
