"Social Darwinism."

Do we today live in the same society that the Founders did, under the same morakl standards?

You wouldn't live there.

They would be scandilized at our society in general, not just the gay thing. Society moves forward, and there's plenty of proof of that available.

Where's slavery? Where's Jim Crow?

Where are the hippies?

Everything changes.

Some of their standards were a lot more humane than ours.

They would be scandilized at our society in general, not just the gay thing.

And much of what they would consider scandalous is degraded and miserable.

Society moves forward, and there's plenty of proof of that available.

Just because it changes doesn't mean it's moving forward. Things change for the worse too, and that is what has happened for some generations. Time to change for the better before it's any later.

Where's slavery?

In the Sudan.

Where's Jim Crow?

Gone in the US.

Where are the hippies?

On the Big Island in Hawaii.

Everything changes.

People make things change, or stop them from changing. It's not an impersonal force than one must submit to.
