Dude. Read a bit of history, and then tell me that the world is a better/worse place now than it was 50, or 500, or 5000 years ago.
I know! I read an article once about how the invention that most changed human history wasn't fire or the wheel or the steam engine, but the washing machine. Seriously - less than 100 years ago most women would have spent most of their time rearing children, cooking food, and cleaning the house and everyone's clothes. Don't tell me we don't live in a better world today just looking at that and that alone.
...I really need to get some non-fandom, neutral icons for when I'm actually talking about something serious.
