Hi Mq: I remember a Peanuts cartoon, that went something like this:


#1 - LUCY: Charlie Brown, I sincerely want to help you become a better person. And that's why...

#2 - LUCY: ... I wrote this list of your deficiencies, so that you can work on them. /tacking another 3 feet of rollpaper to what he already has in his hands/

#3 - Charlie Brown (reading) !?! Huh!!!

# - Charlie Brown (shouting at Lucy who's off-screen): This is not a list of my deficiencies, it's my character traits!!.


I just read something by Erasmus of Rotterdam, but I could not find the english version. Will be back soon with a translation - it resonates to our train of thought here. And he wrote it 500 years ago (And about 2500 years ago Kohelet sighed "there's nothing new under this sun")

But ... tell you what - there was never a moment like the moment NOW.

Regards
