      "That ...inbred cause of Melancholy is our Temperament, in whole or part, which we receive from our parents...it being a hereditary disease; such as the temperament of the father is, such is the son's, and look what disease the father had when he begot him, his son will have after him...And that which is more to be wondered at, it skips in some families the father, and goes to the son, or takes every other, and sometimes every third in a lineal descent, and doth not always produce the same, but some like, and a symbolizing disease..."

          Could we live happily ever after? Perhaps. One's interest in the genetically pre-programmed states of sublimity sketched in The Hedonistic Imperative is tempered by the knowledge that one is unlikely to be around to enjoy them. It's all very well being told our descendants will experience every moment of their lives as a magical epiphany. For emotional primitives and our loved ones at present, most of life's moments bring nothing of the sort. In centuries to come, our baseline of emotional well-being may indeed surpass anything that human legacy wetware can even contemplate. Right now, however, any future Post-Darwinian Era of paradise-engineering can seem an awfully long way off. Mainstream society today has a desperately underdeveloped conception of mental health.

              Never asked,
              always wondered about the one sock though, maybe a one legged bandit?
              There were a lot of AP mines in use in that area.
              The driver said the worst part was walking through the shanties, every kid in the area was chucking stones at him, He had a bad case of sunburn and dehydration too.
              Apparently he'd had the sense to cover his tackle with an old shredded car innertube he found on the side of the road, We called him retread after that
