GSD, while checking some of your figures with a Google search, I was astounded to note that in the US alone there were 31,000,000 abortions between 1973 and 2000.
If we relate these kinds of facts to social issues, politics, the pressures affecting each of us in a world that is so keyed to politics and consumption, it seems to me we're gonna have a lot more pain and suffering before the next enlightenment--should that ever come. It is difficult not to be cynical in our rather synthetic western world where we lack great statesmen who can inspire the citizens wsith greater thoughts.
