Yeah, that's my point and why I'm enquiring about the specifics of what is new.
Same with evolution, that's not a new thing.
The human species is continuously improving itself.
Not everyone though, as evidenced by the utterly stoopid things some people do.
Self improvement is a personal choice.
Perhaps now that people have far more access to the rest of the world, this can be imisread as there being a larger number of people awakening or thinking for themselves or whatever Mayflow sees.
To which i repeat, is something new happeneing or is it simply one is now seeing something one did not see before?
Has something increased or is it just one's sight that has increased?
