HISTORY GUFFAWS

"In our day everyone seems to know that helping the poor is important,

 for example, or that slavery is wrong, 

or being good stewards of the environment is important, 

but

what we have completely forgotten is that these ideas all stemmed from the 

Judeo-Christian tradition in the West.

We seem to think that whatever virtues we do possess arose by themselves.

HISTORY GUFFAWS AT THE VERY IDEA."

I started this some time ago -- before the sneeze, blow, cough, sleep sleep sleep.

I still like the quote, but have nothing to add.
