Akula, no apology in necessary. I am always amazed that people assume I am a man on the Internet, unless I tell them otherwise. But I suppose it is because of the assumption that most Internet users are male. And I have been guilty of this myself! So I've learned not to assume a person's gender. But I graciously accept your apology. You are very wise to try to perceive people as individuals rather than looking at groups of people. I feel that any given "Group", even though there may be a common thread, is made up of individual people who have who have had many different experiences in their lives that have brought them to the ideas and beliefs that make them a unique individual. And I think it is on this level that we can try to understand each other. I think this is the most effective way we can try to get along with each other, even if we don't agree on everything. I use these forums for the same reason that you do. To learn things and try to understand other people's perspectives on many things in life. I believe that people who think they know it all and have nothing left to learn are cheating themselves out of living life to to it's fullest. Don't ever give up hope and keep an open mind to different perspectives and you will have a rich and fulfilling life. You are already wise beyond your years.

Regards, C Kahn
