<MQ tries,but really is too far down under and kinda out of touch> Dad, you are obviously out of touch. There is a thing called cyberspace these days. Not to mention satellites beaming television everywhere. There are newspapers with fibre links around the world. There are big electro-mechanical devices called Boeing 747s which enable people to travel the world. One doesn't live in the bush down here in NZ, like a pipi in a sand bank, clueless about what's happening more than a metre away. We will soon have MediaFLO, which I guess you've heard of, and Google in our cyberphones, so we'll always knows what's up, everywhere. It's the 21st century. People like TJ and billions of others suffer sensory overload due to piles of people and they get a distorted view of the world. Their tiny 1kg brains are not designed to handle such burdens, so they do what's called load-shedding. They psychologically seek simpler solutions, such as TeoTwawKi, bringing back a simpler and happier time, when Aztec savages could dance naked around a bonfire clutching their family jewels, calling incantations to the indifferent cosmos. It colours their thinking and they can't see the wood for the trees bumping into them, crowding them in frenetic Brownian motion. Look at the stampede in Mecca as an example of the extreme of crowd MADness. We, of more relaxed situations, can enjoy a wider uncluttered view, almost separate from the mob, though peripherally part of it, albeit inside the human event horizon. That's why TJ and ilk make treks to uncluttered serene tropical islands to expand their points of view. TJ has got a well-balanced situation, unlike most others in mobs. He can escape any time.

<<Crabbe,I like your non whiny replies to TJ>> ... I do as well, too bad he makes it too easy to refute. Should read more and engage in reflective learning, as opposed to mere pondering in the absence of facts and thus unable to discern the truth. <<MQ tries,but really is too far down under and kinda out of touch>> ... he certainly does, but, alas, you are correct. <<I do like the back and forth of each ones thoughts though...although it is just smoke in the wind....but stimulating none the less>> ... apparently enough to bring out the water and the profanity, as well as claims of civilization. Too funny. I hope it stimulates some more :0) chugs, J
