Something it took me a long time to fully appreciate

39. I agree completely.

What I call it is shunning.

Those feral instincts - and those who act on them - must be shunned. It is/was a common practice in other (non-"western&quot cultures. Kick the sociopaths and anarchists off the island.

As Lincoln alluded, we all have better angels, and "worser" angels. Loser45 and his cult-following speak to our worser ones....

Of course, with the climate collapse, maybe society's institutions will be irrelevant? Or maybe, more critical than ever.

All I know is Mother Nature always has the last laugh.

Here is that beautiful Lincoln quote:

"We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

We never learn...
