In the Philosophical Supermarket of Life groups like PETA are in the Nearly-Use-By Date Throw Away Bin.

Sometimes I do fantasize that all of this will just be seen as some sort of bizzare and momentary dementia in our nation's development. Sort of like the onset of puberty, or one's Senior Prom.

I imagine a wise and learned professor 300 years hence going over all of this with a group of college freshman, who after gleefully pointing out lunicies like PETA, Andy Warhol, Global Warming and the Democrat Party, sits back and chuckles over the disbelief of his charges.

It would be sort of like how we react when we hear about our ancestors beating on drums to chase away solar eclipses.

Of course, there are other times when I think that they will prevail, and that reasonable behavior shall pass from this earth, at least in public life.

It is amazing what silliness our civilization can get up to these days. It is no wonder the Chinese and the Mullahs are so arrogant.
