I feel like we ought to strive for better than "not quite as genocidal as our forebears"

Baby steps. Baby steps.

Baby steps. Baby steps.

I also think we ought to avoid making fun of the hobbits' gait, as well

Fëanor did leave quite a legacy of badness to live up to.

Is that still a step-up from his great-great-great uncle who would have lit the world on fire just because he was feeling pissy and none of his kin were within stabbing range?

But if we only reduce stabbiness by 50% per generation, we'll always have a little stabbiness in the end.

Are there any families that don't involve a few relations who would benefit from a little stabbiness in the end?

Well, it's only fair. The '60s lied to me. Have you ever truly listened to the lyrics of a Monkees song?

You're talking about "Cuddly Toy", aren't you?

With the likes of Carole King writing your songs, you've got a big leg up, but I also quite like Mike Nesmith's stuff.

Man, The Monkees was before I was even born. Good thing they had that comeback. (Or not, depending.)

If you haven't seen Nesmith's "Elephant Parts", it's well worth the watch. Very reminiscent of SCTV.

Stabbiness approaches, but does not reach, zero.
