Rarebird, good reply and I would like to add more simple and hopefully common sense additions so that others might see a foundation type base of ideas to build upon and use them either self contained or as seperate pieces to move around like a zig saw puzzle or pieces of lego to collect together and make something that has a purpose for use. <The mainstream American USA citizen has decided not to think or understand or ask why> <<Nothing unusual about that. That has been going on for ages in this pragmatic society>> The word pragmatic most all understand the dictionary meaning even if that meaning was over time modified and changed to adapt to new stimuli from either a more complex social system of people, or to a social system that exposes more of its inners. To me pragmatic has a negative tone for my personal use, as it to me means accept what "is", and if it is not good, then continue to accept it and make the best out of a bad situation without trying to right the wrong. Most times I have to take this approach as I can not deal effectivily to correct a wrong and may suffer more lost trying. Also, there are times its best to turn the other cheek and accept that the other side, even if wrong or evil, has the upper hand. Also those newly created problems obtained when mankind goes places to work or live that are already "in use", for example houses out west usa built in wildness areas that are already pee'ed upon by large and dangerous big cat animals saying to all others, this land is mine and either stay out or I will bite you and may eat you. <<-though there are some here who do think and question.>> Those like Rarebird and Ron Reece are like high performance cars with 12 cylinders. I have to add that Ron's needs either a tune-up or more likely the electrical wiring has some shorts in places. <<Chairman Greenspan is the Savior.>> I still think he will be a good person to have around in charge after any bubble popps. Currently he is doing anti-himself but he is aware of that and is full control of it. <<NY have Hillary Clinton opening up a nice lead over Mayor Giulianni for that open US Senate seat.>> I liked Giulianni until I saw him wearing a dress and acting very hard to appear dumb and stupid on those late night talk shows. When one can do this seamlessly its ok, but without having that middle present and he has to "jump" over the middle, then its a sign to me of a problem. Doug
