4. In Scott Nearing's autobiography
"Education of a Radical" he said that as a young man, he used to engage in public debates with Clarence Darrow. Clarence would argue that "life is not worth living" and Scott would argue that it was. So I am not sure that I would take Darrow's side. After all William Jennings Bryan was the Democratic/Populist candidate for President in 1896 and 1900, and if he had won either of those elections we would not have all these problems today....
Bokonon says "believe in the Foma that make you brave, strong, and happy". Y'all sound like you could use a Foma or two, like a belief in human progress or something.
