I would not equate equating a massive-scale holocaust with having an extra buck in my wallet with sophistication. Specifically what I mean by this is presenting a more forceful philosophical argument, which I believe we have. To give one very brief example, why is the pro-abort not frequently challenged to define the magical "poof!" moment one nanosecond before which the entity is a "blob of cells" and one nanosecond after which the entity is magically transformed into a "person?"

Like it or not, it is the set of moral axioms that permeated Coloninal society which provided the seedbed into which our Republic has sown. I do not believe, by any stretch, that we in the 21st century have the moral fiber to produce such a republic. The best we can do is try to hold on, try to stave off the relentless descent into socialistic nihilism - the early symptoms of which can be seen just by turning on your television.

How do you feel you are doing so far?
