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.
