Good. Now note that in the 1950's our culture was much more "conservative," mucn more "traditional," and much more homogenous. In that "Leave it to Beaver" meets "Pleasantville" world nobody was screaming that 90% was "immoral." Because it wasn't. And it wouldn't be today either. It wouldn't even be excessive, but it also would not be essential. It is however, quite clear that the highest rates are ridiculoulsy low at this time.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
