P.S. to Steven,
Just in case you are tempted to respond to my posts of last night, you might want to consider this tale. <g>
I just got back from my "analyst" and she assures me that I am completely incompetent and unable to engage in rational discourse. ...Much less attend to my own affairs. <Hoo?>
I, of course, advised her that you - and Jacob - had driven me to this "pitiable state" by your incessant demands for peace where there is no peace, and understanding where there is only negation. Whereupon she had the "Gaul" to suggest to me that yours was the better alternative!! Imagine that!! <Hoo>
I told her that this may well be true, but only in the highly specialized and dangerously homogeneous environment of her offices. And further, that should she ever have to cope with life on the street, instead of her green house, she would soon come to appreciate the depth of the competitive forces which have drawn me to this immutable faith in the preeminence of positive law.
Hearing this, she told me she would think about it. ...I doubt that she will. Her's is a very busy and profitable office. But I am quite sure that given the correct stimulus, she will respond in a "positive" way, ...as best as her genes will allow.
I will keep you advised of her progress but, as you can see, for my own well being I'm afraid I will just have to keep my thoughts on your "foreign policies" to myself. <vbg>
