Rarebird,
An easy way for you to contribute to this thread's goal would be if you took as examples to follow Hutch and Bob Johnson. Bob gives out cold hard facts that he has obtained from outside sources and it is the responsibility of anyone who uses these facts to allow for the possibility that Bob can not verify each and everthing he collects even using his very careful methods. Hutch keeps it simple, I'm here to make cold hard cash using the cold hard facts available to my way above average to collect and use all sorts of information gathering and analysis tools available.
In my opinion Richard and I are doing whats required when a continuous War between Good & Evil has engulfed all of mankind and womankind for all times recorded, and continues to this day with all signs of no letup for the future.
The amount of hurt and suffering done since the start of World War II is of an obscene amount that should have pinned the needle of some gauge to an upper value that should never be reached.
Using simple words in sentences to convey complex meaning that only a Ph.D. like yourself can understand not only places you as one needing another's opinion to confirm what you wish your status were, but these types of words are used by con artist of the most horrorable nature.
<<...but from inside the consciousness of the other's point of view because I Respect and Love the Other as long as they are humane.>>
Sounds very good, as from a very good person to do good.
But who decides what is humane, and if the folks in power decide that others do not qualify to the type of their version, then etc etc as in WWII.
To put it simply, if you who is only .0001% of earth's population is only able to understand such complex thougths using simple words, then the masses can follow you or another that is not of Good, and never know the other is Evil since only that one understands really what the words mean, and all rest follow the Leader.

To: long-gone From: Rarebird Monday, August 21, 2000 <Manipulation lower for profit is theft> ... Manipulation is procurement of additional leverage in order to maximize profit in the direction of the well defined trend. Manipulation is not the cause of the Trend; it is the effect....
As Ayn Rand wrote, black and white everything in the middle is gray and gray's direction is towards the black(evil) where white is the good a.k.a correct, legal, moral.
