Default Re: since you've asked..

Interesting thoughts.

I continue to be stunned at how far the human race has come in spite of this slavish insistence on learning the hard way! I just wonder how far we COULD have come:-)

It comes into my mind so often when I talk with my kids (age 22 and 21). So often I hear them say "but I have to find out for myself". WHY do they have to find out how to be broke from personal experience? WHY do they have to find out that if they get caught speeding it's expensive? WHY do they have to find out that smoking makes them sick?

It just stuns me. And no "but I bet you were the same" please - of COURSE I was the same! That's my point. As a species, just think where we could be if we just stopped doing this!
