when you get into how to alleviate most people's reliance on senseation you find out that practically everything designed in this world is sensationally hedonistic and designed to perpetuate the sensationalism, or so it would seem anyway.
Go read Atlas Shrugged, and we'll talk about that more in depth, kahl.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
