There might be more to it than what "being moral" means to most people. It's about learning attitudes and behavior that help make the world better for everyone, because you want to. I think Hal David and Jackie DeShannon nailed it: "What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. That's the only thing that there's just too little of. What the world needs now, is love sweet love, no, not just for some, but for everyone." Not just smiles and sweet talk, either. Really valuing all people everywhere, and caring what happens to them.

Maybe so. I might have learned some of my morality from Annette, and from the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, and maybe even from "Gerald McBoingBoing."

I agree with stop acting like children and grow up, although in some ways I'd like to see people acting more like children. I'm not sure about the 60% reduction in population, but you might be right about that too.

She's trigger happy with nukes!
She didn't say anything about nukes, and I was trying to pretend that she didn't mean it that way.
Ignoramus was joking. Our mod, Valkyrie, here, is a gruesome gal. She likes sharp things, explosive things, things that one would need an alibi for.
But she's very loving. In her own special way.
