Mr. M...you ably responded to moose. i won't add anything there.

i think stevo asked :What good is enlightenment and civility if you're dead?

I think the question back is what good is being alive for if you're not civilized?

Burke has the great lines on the subject, which i hardly need quote. Much as i quarrel with the reactionary, i admire his belief in the value of being civilized.
