Actually, Schlack, I do not think you have learned much about the subject of this thread. I think you are leaving with the same preconcieved notions you had when you began it. That is okay though, since I am not here to teach -- just express an opinion; if some are interested enough to delve deeper as a result, good.

And no, it is not a "leap into the dark", it would be a leap out of darkness -- a darkness that has been man's lot for millinnia. Apparently most people in this ol' world feel comfortable remaining in it despite it vulgar and brutish character, as long as they can pretend there is a collective light at the end of the tunnel.;-)
