you weren't banned, go to baker's or Sue's thread and post that you like the repubs candidates and see what happens, you don't even have to talk about ideas

I know about Maslow and his hierarchy of needs, self-actualization and all that. When I first read about it I thought it was pretty interesting. I'm just wondering about the symbolance of it all... One of the funniest movie scenes I've seen is from Brother From Another Planet. Two midwestern white guys are in Chicago for a self-actualization seminar and get lost. They wind up in a black bar and spend some time drinking with the regulars. The dialogue is hilarious! You oughtta check it out. Reasonable gay people are content with civil unions, it's the radical element that keeps pushing for marriage.

Personally, I hope you will stay and continue to give your opinion. Just don't take offense if you are challenged, because you will be.

Maslow is known to just about everyone. The word "symbolance" is known to no dictionary and shows up nowhere in my psych texts. And gratuitously throwing quantum physics, existentialism, and the theory of relativity into it (you forgot the kitchen sink) sounded like an attempt to impress rather than be informative. Of course, you may just be motivated by that second tier of motivational needs and were looking for esteem and respect. Your ideas are not what got you into trouble. Coming into a new thread and presenting yourself, somewhat smugly, as smarter and more "evolved" while calling the President braindead and the VP psychotic- not nice whatever your personal beliefs may be- was the problem. Those are not "ideas". What is there to say when someone obviously believes himself superior and the sole possessor of Truth? "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Oscar Wilde
