Auntie,

Try this when you read: either move your lips, or follow the words with your finger, but don't do both at the same time –– that requires too much coordination, and degrades your comprehension.

See, we were talking about sexual behaviors and their psychological manifestations, but then I daringly broadened the topic to physical behaviors, since (and read slowly here): effects observable within a universal set have corresponding effects within subsets. I tried to explain that concept with my pond metaphor, but I guess you found that too deep (S).

So I've got a strategy working here, Auntie: If I can get you to concede that there is a broad correlation, then I can begin to hack away at more specific correlations like those related to sexual behaviors. (Mr. Rogers calls that E-X-T-R-A-P-O-L-A-T-I-O-N)

Now, I made a very specific point about behavior/mind correlation as it applied to executioners, and am waiting for a substantive response. If you'd like to shift the field to some other behavior that isn't sex (I don't want to stir you up and get you into trouble with the nurses again) be my guest.

Better let you run, Nurse Ratchet just started playing the pill time music (S).

God...to be YOUNG and STUPID and CERTAIN again ...!

Don't fret, Solon. Two out of three ain't bad. And you may yet find a fountain of youth.
