Gee...I leave for a month and I return to unmitigated honesty and exceptional perception! Although I am certainly unsure whether I disagree politically.

There was a time when my ideas were written in stone; but now I believe that values matter far more than opinion. There is no end to opinion; but the ancient exhortation to do no harm is far more important than all the differences of opinion that could ever exist.

I have no politial party. People form alliances for self serving purposes. Nothing wrong with that, of course. What matters is that our daily actions stand for something more meaningful than casting lots for filthy and fleeting fragments from flea market illusions of pretended importance.

Of course I have argued with Laz. It means nothing in the grand scheme. I have been accepting and kind, regardless of unimportant opinions, because I heard (through internet friends) of kindly acts done by Laz. So I will still argue my opinion with Laz or with anyone else; but argument is opinion...and ACTIONS are ACTIONS.

I argue with others here (such as Jewels). It does not mean I disrespect them in any way. I admire people of sincere opinion. Opinion is opinion...character is character.
