Hey, Booters! Long time, no cha cha. I have been well to middlin, as I believe Tom Bomdadil always said. "WHY IS POPULAR WRONG????" I don't think "wrongness" is the critical issue. I would rather ask what is dangerous or hurtful. These are objective evaluations rather than abstract judgment. For instance, beheading has become rather popular as of late. I would not say it is wrong for being popular...but it surely ranks with the lowest acts of human beings, regardless of that. I would hope I never judge the rightness or wrongness of an act or a social movement by the popularity it enjoys. Please correct me if I do, Booters. Good to hear you again!
