Our current social customs are not very far removed from those that existed
thousands of years ago, all the way back to the beginning of written
history, and probably even before (as inferred through archeological studies
of cultural remains predating written history). To expect them to change,
never mind disappear entirely, even in the last millennia, never mind the
last generation, is to fail utterly to comprehend human society.

It seems that I always expect too much of my fellow inhabitants of our
planet Earth. However, lately it seems to me, that retrograde
evolution is in operation; disappointing.

Granted, that's a common flaw among people who are highly experienced
computer users.

It's not so much that I fail to comprehend human society, as it is my
feeble attempt at self-deception motivated by a reluctance to accept
society's glaring lack of enlightenment. Take Texas, for example:
ranked 50th scholastically, but number one in executions.
