	Skizero (13) 03/21/2005	mencken was right on this one. any belief in the same system throughout the history of the world: religion, politics, etc has shows an unwillingness to progress. the readiness to doubt allows for further thought. something that's losing weight rapidly in the modern world, unless it's a way to download music faster. one look at the current crusade being fought against the US and the MIddle East is proof how far we've not come adhering to ancient beliefs.

	abichara (60) 09/12/2004	There's nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy cynicism. In fact, it is a prerequisite for a healthy, pluralistic society. (0 voted this helpful, 0 funny and 0 agree) 0 comment(s) - Email to a Friend
