For me this thread has turned into a very interesting research project on the human psychological condition. I may just use it as the topic of my masters thesis.
Why has the Why thread lasted so long and said so little. But the ones about heart touching subjects about the good part of the human existence quickly die.
Why are people so quick to salute the flag or say they support the vets, but, don't bother to vote.
And then complain about the S.O.B's in office.
I contend that as a species we are mostly lazy, selfish and hypercritical. Not us of course, I mean the rest of the species.
Now let's see how that effects the thread.
