Excellent post, Baltimore Ron
It's quite dangerous to pretend Humans are something they really aren't, i.e. righteous and innately good. After all, we are only a geological blink after the Pleistocene.
"Hunter-gatherers, for example, unencumbered by concepts of poverty and civilization, lived a life of leisure and communism."
O Rousseau, O Milton, I wish that were true!
But it's not. Not at all. I'm sorry.
