[killjoy]

My significance comes from a source higher than killjoy. I don't derive significance from who I am, where I live, what I wear, where I work, who I marry, what I post on FreeRepublic, whoever posts to me on FreeRepublic.

That is where we differ. I do derive significance from who I am, where I live, and where I work. I have a company that is teaching rescue/EMT skills in a developing country that desperately needs those skills. I am trying to make THIS world a better place. What about you?

Why?, if it is an accident, a person who makes it a "better" place is on moral (and intellectual) ground no higher than a serial rapist. There is no context for the concept of morality.

>>What about you?<<

That sounds downright judgemental.

I don't need to justify myself, or what I do, to you. So finish polishing your pennies in front of someone else.
