Well, the Palestinian terrorist organizations are on the list. If he supports them, then he supports the terrorists. Taking money from the terrorists is a support of terrorists. And your gutter statement is right on. On the ying and yang, I forget too! The ying and yang is also meant to show the duality of human nature. I don't know where to go with that, after saying it was female and male. I don't want to come off making sissie boy comments like men should listen to the women inside them. I like to think, though, that we consciously dictate our autonomous behavior. ie the production of chemicals, like hormones. We strive for balance and harmony betweeen the ying and the yang. Lol, I have been mispelling ying! It is yin. An encarta article, that may clarify my thoughts. Yin and Yang, opposite and complementary forces in Chinese thought, from Chinese words meaning "shaded" and "sunny." Beginning in the early 4th century BC Chinese philosophers wrote about yin and yang in terms of the environment, especially the shaded and sunny sides of a hill. By the end of that century yin became associated with everything dark, moist, receptive, earthy, and female, whereas yang was bright, dry, active, heavenly, and male. Yin and yang were believed to combine in various proportions to produce all the different objects in the universe. There is always an element of yang within yin and an element of yin within yang. Together they are symbolized by a circle divided into black and white sections, with a dot of white in the black portion and a dot of black in the white portion. This interaction indicates that the characteristics of yin cannot exist without those of yang, nor the characteristics of yang without yin. Chinese philosophers stressed the importance of balance between the two to ensure social and political harmony. Rebellion, floods, and disease were said to be caused by an imbalance of yin and yang. Fortune-tellers and doctors in China and later in Japan advised governments and individuals on ways to restore harmony in relationship to yin and yang.
