Peter,
 I highly respect your rejection of religion (based on logic), but I Beg to 
Differ (I think that was the title of a Prong album that Raven may have played 
on) with your above statement. It's similar to the argument that I've heard 
insecure white males make, that somehow racism has ended and "we're all equal", 
so affirmative action or any other anti-racist measure is really "racist" 
because it favors one group over another...without pointing out that racism drags 
down the standard of living of whites as well as blacks...It reminds me of the 
statement that one of the USSR's biggest pigs, Krushev, made in the 50s or 
60s about how class struggle in Russia had ended, and that everyone in the 
country was now suddenly equal, so the thing to focus on was developing industrial 
capacity and consumer goods, even if a little capitalism was introduced along 
the way---leading to what we see today: a mafia-run cesspool of corruption, 
crime, prostitution, alienation (w/o the experimentation)--sounds like the 
USA--and state-run capitalism disguised by a hopelessly corrupt "communist" party. 
"Enjoy yourself/This is your new age...Complications!"
