Chinu, don't worry about me. I bring it on myself and am not in the least offended by what any right winger says about me and my family.

The subject which has interested me my whole life has been how the mind works. I am not really debating any of these guys, I am trying to figure out how they think. I simply am inerested in it, just like some people are interested in stamp collecting.

When I was at the U of Washington, my best friend and room mate was an anthropology professor there. He always said I should have gotten my PHD in the evolution of consciousness. UC Stana Cruz has one.

People fail to understand things for two primary reasons: 1) they simply lack the education/knowledge, and 2) they have been so indoctrinated with script, myth, fantasy or neurotic, or psychotic thinking, from an early age they cannot scrub the thought software from their thinking.

This is why I liked the book infidel so much, because the thesis of the book is her recounting how she evolved intellectually.

I like to come over here because there are usually a few interesting out of the liberal mainstream thinkers for me to ponder, unlike the much too pure liberal threads.

Sorry if I mess up the thread doing it. I know it drives epicure nuts when I do this-lol.
