Hm, let's see, no racism, sexism, random violence ... no reality TV ...

I seriously doubt that that's true; in fact I believe it is absolutely
false. Many people see that wildlife, species diversity and ecosystem
diversity are interrelated and that all are important for life on the
planet to thrive. Are you saying that those people are moved solely by
emotion, and that those who say they are working from a rational
perspective are deluded or dishonest or both?
