thank you everyone for upmodding glib responses. that's exactly the kind of comment that fosters discussion and not hostility. ;)

you might make the point that my original post was glib, since this topic has been retreaded countless times. But it seems to have fostered some interesting thoughts, so i consider it worthwhile. A post noting that this thought isn't original doesn't really contribute much. Most thoughts aren't original.
