Quote

If we weren't born with anti-social passions - narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious - why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior?

It does say something about a society when those who sue physicians and hospitals make as much or more money than those who heal disease.

Obviously, the issue for the Left isn't aging white males it is conservatives, whether they are young or old, white or nonwhite, male or female. If female aborigines were conservative, the Left would have a problem with female aborigines.
