[QUOTE="LotusBud, post: 402386, member: 1123"] He sums his overall point up after that. It's not just about a Ferrari. That's a metaphor, if you have any idea what that is. Yes, most people are seduced by beautiful things, but we need to get out of our cock rockets and look at the reality. The reality is, billions of people are suffering and the planet is being trashed. Is this okay? Is it better to lust after a Ferrari than it is to want to see the world be more just and more healthy? If you think the acquisition of a Ferrari is a more admirable goal than to mitigate suffering for Earth and her people, well, then, I just feel sorry for you. Really, really sorry. And, sadly, it also makes me question the theory of evolution. The "fittest" are definitely not those who are willing to trash the earth and kill off their own species through man-made poverty, disease, and pestilence. Those are the least fit among us. [/QUOTE]
