63. You're in the wrong country, maybe at the wrong time, maybe on the wrong planet.
I know *EXACTLY* how you feel; I don't understand 1/4 of the
stuff that goes on around me that is taken absolutely for
granite, err, granted.

The only thing I can conclude is that you, like me, are in the
wrong country, maybe at the wrong time, and maybe on the wrong
planet. Maybe we belong in the Star Trek future, where all of
this (sexism, racism, capitalism, etc.) has been resolved, at
least among the Federation. Or maybe we belong in the 12th
century, where you could at least escape into a monastery
or a nunnery and be Brother Cadfael, tending our garden
after retiring from a life of war and strife in the
outside world.

But I can't understand how humans can routinely be such
complete and total assholes about so many things and
then be *PROUD* of it.

Sometimes I think that the best we can hope for is a
future like Stephen King's The Stand, where most
of humanity is done to death by a virus of our own making
and the few remaining humans can start over again.
