Hey, I'm no saint, and don't pretend to be. Thanks though!
I'm basically, an atheist pirate with precocious tendencies, possessing as a sufficiently developed imagination that I can understand--life for most of humanity is hard, and it sucks. As someone only blessed by fate with better than average skills, attitudes, and abilities, I'd like to share my good luck with those born with shriveled frontal lobes, bad teeth, and unfortunate geographical locations. I take it seriously. I'm pretty high octane, but basically love wine, women and song--and a good night's sleep.
The world, if people thought the way I do, would be no paradise. There's still malaria, MS, club foot, and things to screw it all up. There still would be violence. The main difference would be the violence would be directed towards people that deserved it, the liars, cheats, and stinkers of all colors. There's a lot of colors of those.
There would still be pretty girls to fight over, and all in all, maybe that's ok.
