Positive Skepticism..... >>Ah the faith of the skeptic has endured for millennia- you belittle skeptics by casually dismissing them (and possibly- gasp- even denigrating them- by implying you are a better person for not being one, although I grant you this is only implied in your writing). Read your ancient Greek and Latin- some of the best thinkers of every age are skeptics, and they often attack whatever sacred cows happen to be grazing around.>> It's great to have a lot of positive skeptics grazing around!! The feeling of being thankful, positive and skeptical is a wonderful mix to receive and share with others. I like to equate "being skeptical AND positive" to the image of a wonderfully beautiful rainbow revealing it's majesty and wonder as the sun comes out after a rainstorm. The earth is recharged with water to grow and share more of its aubundance. The multi-hued colors stretch in a grand arch across the sky. They just happen to be skeptically and positively frowning. 119293!!
