I wasn't referring to your "gold/glitter" ratios KimFay. Rather to myself and people in general. It seems to be in our nature to see things differently. That's all I meant. I heard x-Sen. Bill Bradley(sp?) describe his "views" in an interview last night. The guy is such an idealist it was painful to hear. The night before I heard x-Rep. Dick Armey discussing his "views" which were so ideologically dogmatic that it too was equally hard to take. Yet they both believed they understood some "truth;" were in possession of all the relevant "facts;" and could resolve major problems if they could just get others to see things like they do. Frankly, after listening to both of them, considering recent events and looking at the state of our union... I came away with the impression that neither of them is capable of resolving anything without eliminating the other. So I can only surmise that the growing stockpile of "major problems" means that a dictatorship is becoming more likely each and every day. But then that's probably a "normal" part of our cyclical political culture. Let us hope that we continue to dodge the bullet, but I am beginning to see it as a natural terminus for any society when its gold/glitter ratio is widely recognized as too low. 0\|0
