Like I originally said, I am always happy to be proven wrong and caf, I offer my most sincere apologies since I have obviously misjudged you. Perhaps my words were poorly chosen, or perhaps I see in others what I fear in myself. I am very stubborn about ideas and there are some things I am not sure if I could ever stop believing in, no matter what you showed me. I guess I figured everyone had something like that. I am glad to know it is not true. Above all, know that I have and always will appreciate your thoughts and comments because as I have said before, you don't say things that you cannot back up. You have the knowldege and the patience (Patience I can personally atest to)but you are not quick to use it as a sword, but rather as a shield. And I know you listen to otehr ideas and consder them, I guess I was just saying that sometimes our prejudices (which has an ugly connotation these days) and perceptions affect our judgement. A pal of mine recently gave a talk on the fact that reality, no matter what is actually is, is based on perception. He used the analogy of three cars on the freeway and how the three different perspectives affected the realities of each driver. Of course, as many tell me, I am mostly hot air and hubris. And while not horribly useful, it can be fun at parties.
