CB, on baffling and why things are: fredoneverything.net I've always been fascinated by ants, praying manti, sausages and nausages. Note particularly how locked into their rituals they are. Mindless mantras of mechanistic mayhem. There's more than a little of mindless mantras in chimpoid life too. I have the answers. Pay the joining fee and Peace can be yours. Note how religions are all run by males with Male Answer Syndrome. It beats me why women follow such obvious charlatans, full of hypocrisy, cant and dressed in ladies' clothes. They don't obey their husbands and don't believe every whacked out crazy idea they come up with. But Osama, the infallible Pope, David Koresh and the televangelists have big followings. Jim Jones doesn't. Neither do Heaven's Gate now that they've all flown off to Hale Bopp. Mqurice

<<Muslims still go to Mecca and pray to the Ka'aba, a black rock>> ... I have a Indian Muslim friend who went on her first trip to Mecca during the gathering. She had never been wrapped up in religion, but report enthusiastically about the great energy of the event and inspiration of the process. I registered it all as something to do with crowds, identity, and such. <<blogging>> ... blogspot.com ... interesting new phenomena per your explanation. I am wondering what any group think of any other group's blogging. Future historians can make themselves genuinely busy digging through the logs. Chugs, Jay
