Oh, we are discussing boobs all right. They just aren’t as exciting as normal.

There’s something terribly tragic about a human being who is so insecure that they have to believe that their skin color makes them special and better than others.

Not all that long ago, before Darwin’s time actually, it was commonly held that the white race was superior to most others, and when Darwin finally published, there was a bit of a jump by some to look at his work as proof they were right. That mind set is still around, ironically held the tightest by those in disagreement with Darwin, and is taking a very long time to wither away. Conservatism may be a rational ideal when aspects of our society are moving faster than we can intellectually and emotionally keep up, but trying to hold on to ideas most of society has long left behind, strikes me as not terribly healthy.
