Oh, yes, there is: freedom. Think about it a while...

Then it wouldn't be an enlightened society would it?


After reading you for awhile, I think you have good
intentions/reasoning at heart...what we have are two similar cultures
with a couple of *major* differences, and I'll leave that right there.
However, your statement above smacks of arrogance...don't be offended,
I think we all are that way in one situation or another...but that
mindset is what is taking both cultures over piecemeal: basically one
aspect of society, usually the one in control, telling the other
what's good for him...because, of course, we (the minority) don't know
what's good for *us*; we don't think very well and need to be led by
the enlightened.
