What I like about you guys is your honesty: "I believe" rather
   than "It is self-evident." Huge difference in my book. There's a
   multiplicity of different systems; I consider myself agnostic to
   them all although I'm starting to figure out, through these
   long-winded things I'm writing, what _tendancies_ I seem to
   have.

   Until that last post, I didn't realize I thought in terms of
   history/socio-cultural/biological then
   theoretical/abstract/reasoning/ideas !

   I do my best thinking in writing, but not writing to myself; but
   rather writing to imaginary competition and going through it
   all. You guys aren't competition; but I wrote as if such as part
   of my ongoing discovery process.

   Gary - I especially want to thank you for your patience in my
   long-windedness. Finding minds that are smarter than I and then
   saying, "but what if, what if, what if" - is _really_ helpful in
   bringing me forward in helping me understand my own viewpoint of
   things.
