I don't have the social grace to just thank you for good advice and leave it at that. That I felt the need to expound on some of my philosophies in and of itself suggests that I'm not so self assured in their regard.



I believe those insecurities aren't neccessarily unique to myself. It's more a by-product of recent generations deminishing or disregarding those principles that are tried and proven, then passed down or passed along.



In my unaskedfor opinion, it's not just the ideas and concepts that are under attack, but the very mechanisms for passing them along. Division leading to confusion facilitating harvest.



I pray for you, Bill V., Bill P., myself, and all the others who have to do battle with the counter-influences we're forced to allow our children (young and old) to be subjected to. These 'alternatives' presume a need. As progressive generations flounder more without foundation, that need validates itself more.



Essentially, they've harnessed the natural rebellion of our young towards devoting their unlimited energies and talents to reinventing the wheel just because there's a flat that needs fixed. They loose sight of the fact that round has always worked best in the process of making other shapes do.



I should probably analyze where all this came from before posting it. But, here it is.



at least it'll be relegated to the archives tomorrow with the rest of our sputtering.
