I'm not quite sure what pre-pubescent flies have to do with the
discussion.  However I think that a reply to the "part of the herd" is
merited.  Once.  I don't think that I want to have a very long
discussion with this person.

During my younger years, acting like a morally upright person was
definitely not being "part of the herd".  The herd was the type of
people who lived loosely, and spoke as this TarlaStar person speaks.  I
was one of only 2 boys in my class of 400 seniors with short hair.  If
this is being part of a herd, then herds are in danger of in-breeding.

Choosing traditional morality makes one a leader, not a follower.  It
also makes for a much more pleasant life.

I have no fear of your kind (whatever that is, your shouting of it does
not make it clearer).  Kinds of people don't make a difference, kinds of
lifestyles do.  If you mean that people living a morally bankrupt life
are going to rule the planet then I don't worry about that too much
either.  People who act in those ways are self-destructive, they do not
rule, they die young.  Unfortunately, they often take other young people
to tragic early deaths also.

As far as authority.  I have authority in my home.  That authority
(which is what I was referring to) will be used, God willing, to raise
my children to accept and propagate the kind of lives pleasing to
themselves, to society, and to God.
