I'm not saying I intend to change my questioning, skeptical ways; only that I want to make it more palatable to a larger number of people. Because, honestly, I can be a bit coarse sometimes. Just trying to grow a bit is all. Hi Karen, thanks for the wonderful quote! Not to expose my ignorance, but what is it from? And some day we may get a chance to sit down in the right frame of mind and discuss Levinson. One can only hope. :) Hey Jenny. I'm hoping for plenty of cool people, too. Or at least a good handful or two. With our varied and eclectic sense(s) of cool people it may just happen. ;) Hi Christina, not exactly sure you are referring to with the “and look what happens to you?” comment, but I’ll take it in the lighthearted sense that I’m sure you meant it.

I still disagree with you about Levinson (and of course I still don't really have time to get into it now). But I definitely agree with something here. "If someone sees an intelligent person Who is skillfully able to point out shortcomings, And give suitable reproof, Let him cherish such a revealer of hidden treasures. Only good can come from such an association." -from one of my favorite works, (but not my favorite expression of it). Hee hee, Mark.

You try to be a bit honest and skeptical for a while and look what happens to you? Anyway, all this stuff sounds very intellectually exciting... good for you.
