Andy: If, against all the evidence, you think society
celebrates life, then that's what you think. I'm just
curious, why do you think there is crime, etc. in the
world? Intelligent Design? Malignant Design? Bad choices?
Not enough torture?
My point is that society, any society, but particularly
American society, is more varied and rich than any idea we
can have about it. Sure there's the mercantile stuff and all
the other shenanigans of this or any Gilded Age. There's
also life being celebrated.
Go to a public park. Sit on a bench for 45 minutes and watch
the people. Bet you catch some celebrations of life. Catch
'em in the act you will.
