“But this is picayunish, and we no longer have time for that. We no longer have time to atomize principles and beg the question. We fill too many gutters while we argue unimportant points and confuse issues.”

Interesting….i was talking with a friend today on how “teenagers like to point out all the flaws in our society but rarely do anything to make the place any better.” In some ways this is true. Our world is crappy no doubt about that and it is a good thing that teenagers notice how crappy of a world we have. Teenagers rarely do anything to help in the world because when they do attempt to make a difference they are blocked. They have no power to help at times. But there are times when we argue in order to help or better the world and we end up doing it all for the wrong reasons. and sometimes our arguments make no sense, for example this really confusing post that i refuse to edit….
