“thirdly, I was thinking more along the lines of realizing that the world has come about to what it is and holding to the 1700’s way of thinking won’t solve any problems.”
I truly despise those that attempt to put words in my mouth and twist them at the same time. Guess I wasn’t clear enough, a third time is just a waste of my time.
If you think your words are being twisted, try using some with a little more substance, instead of ephemeral truisms that bend whichever way a gentle breeze might blow.
