Civility? Is your post associating Jon with conservatives who have their
"heads- firmly-shoved-up-their-asses" an example of the moral standard a
nation should aspire to? As for science and common sense, Albert Einstein
said, "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age
eighteen."
Seems to me the foundation for morality ought not to be something so
easily ignored, nor should it be composed of collective biases.
