status quo assumed preferable

@skysidhe: I've always had trouble interpretting your posting style. My perception, right now, is that you are exhibiting hostility towards me. I hope that's not the case, because I always liked you. You seem like a thoughtful person, but I recall getting these sort of hostile (my perception) messages from you on my board, and it always baffled me. Are we still having a polite conversation? I said "I assumed the answer would be percieved as implied" meaning I assumed that the reader would percieve my implied answer "no, a society will benefit from valuing diversity" - I guess this makes my question a rhetorical question. I clearly said I assumed the reader's perception - which I clearly am not making any claims of having direct knowledge of.
