Rubbish! There are certain qualities which must be extended before you are worthy of receiving them, trust, loyalty, to mention a couple, but you can throw respect in there also, along with one or two others. I have to earn the respect of every child I meet, and maintain the standard every time I encounter that child in the future. Some, in their retarded viewpoint, believe respect is something engendered by social position. Wrong! Social position is engendered by earned level of respect. `excluding yourself from the human community', what a load of puerile ignorance! -- `Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful'. — Lucius Annæus Seneca.
