Neo,

I wrote:

Morality is doing considerably better than when Thomas Jefferson had an illegitimate child with one of his slaves, or when small children worked in factories for 14 hours a day.

CK picked up on the sex part, and responded with:

The Jefferson thing has been proven to be a lie, it case you haven't heard. I doubt, though, it matters to you.

The slavery and child labor did not catch his attention. The sex part did. Very telling.
