X: I know many people personally from all walks of life who are objective. That you fail to acknowledge their existence is your failing, not mine. As to human senses, unless one is totally blind or without the sense of touch or hearing, or otherwise physically impaired, all humans have pretty much the same senses where it counts. And no matter what your life experience, the objective reality is that slamming into a brick wall at 60 mph is going to injure, if not kill you, no matter how much one might rationalize the wall away, try to ignore it, or wish real hard it wasn't there. By the same token rewarding bad behavior and punishing good behavior will get you a pretty sick society -- which is what we have today. Simply, A IS A. I claim no uniqueness in objectivity or rational thought. There are at least 100,000s, perhaps millions who practice it every day. Are we perfect? No, of course not, but we try to work with reality and not cloud our vision with illusions as so many do now and have throughout history. FT
