>Men can come up with ideas that are better than themselves. It seems you believe that this is not possible. You seem very certain of my beliefs, especially considering that you are responding to a post wherein I asked two questions and made no statements. Sure, questions have implications, and imply something as to the worldview of the person asking, but you seem to have a very certain, very black and white view of the world, which I think can only be described as incorrect because of it's very black-and-whiteness. Perhaps incorrect is the wrong term. I believe that human behavior can not be understood in black and white terms just because nothing any of us does is entirely good or bad, entirely self-consistent or hypocritical. You cannot understand ethics, history, or human behavior with an approach that can not see and deal with these subtle shades of gray.
