There is no substitute for intellectual honesty. Be thyself, know thyself, protect thyself from the townsfolk.
The fact remains that the human race has a long way to go before justice and freedom are realities for all. I'm supposed to smile and be happy about that? Sorry, nope...I'm gonna call 'em as I see 'em...
Boy you really do like to argue for no reason, don't you? Nothing you've written refutes anything I've written. It's all well and good to spout platitudes that make one seem enlightened and superior, but, well, actually, no it's not.
Being pissed off at the state of things [plus]
Being vocal about said pissed-offedness [does NOT equal]
Being a misanthrope

PS, as PH2K's experience shows, if no one notices when the food is good, there's no point in improving it (to use a corollary of your quip). To put it another way, what's the point of wanting good for humanity if you don't appreciate what good is already there?
The line between misanthropy and nihilism is very, very thin.
