Don';t get me goin' here, Croc, as we're now on my favorite subject. The creation in every last molecule, especially the molecule as the scientists now explore it. But, before I enter into dialogue with anyone they must first swear on their Scout's Honor, three fingers in the air, that they do not pledge alligence to another little god. Even the tree god is a manifestation. If you do, it's your right under the constitution, but I like perimeters. Otherwise I am a fool talking to fools, and none of us know what the other is saying. Speak of God in nature and I know God in Nature. Speak of nature as a manifestation of the things of darkness, we swiftly go to battle with each other. But at least I know I'm in battle. And you sure sound like you're into the Gaia thing to me. Let's definitely talk about Gaia. He-She-It will love me entering into discourse on Gaia, I'm sure! I think without nature man will surely die off soon. He will simply end the species himself, unable to stand his environment. I;m sure youknow of what I speak. Unless, of course, and we're going toward that, it will be an Omega Man situation, which is possible. As is Soylent Green. It is all hell on earth, period. Perhaps the children of darkness richly deserve that which they want so bad. Uh-oh. I'll bet you think that sounds ....unchristian! Gotta go to work. (I find myself more and more imitating the speech patterns of John Lovitz.)

Croc, I believe its time the english language deal with the need for nongender pronouns besides 'it'. I, personally, find it quite a chore to structure my responses to adhere to the underlying feelings of the general readers of the thread, and maintain this 'non-gender' based discussion. Not from personal feeling, but because the language is really crippled when we try 3rd person non gender address. It is the nature of the limited language that often leads to discussions of who is who when who said it of whom...and not the limited nature of the particular to which we speak. Just of burst of frustration resulting from the continual need to rewrite and rephrase when a good little pronoun would, if not solve, properly obscure the issue. regards, mnmuench
