Czuch:

"dont sell yourself so short"

Sell myself short? Tuesday & (V) have plenty to teach me, and I'm all ears. They have plenty to teach you also, if you'd listen. Whether I and they agree in all particulars about all things is irrevelant. They are exceptionally enlightened. I took the liberty of going back over some of Tuesday's posts here before I resurfaced. I was impressed! Her words reveal a wisdom I frankly did not previously know she possessed. And what's more, she was standing tall in a furnace, going it alone. As for (V), he is a breath of fresh air. He demonstrates to me with every post great subtlety of mind & understanding, and, thank goodness, does not bring to the table a boxed message stamped "Made in the U.S.A" on the lid.

On the other hand, Czuch, you contend that there are "basically just two political philosophies, at least here in the US." You are mistaken, and to me such a notion indicates a rigidity of thinking hazardous to your mental health, somewhat in the way brainwashing is hazardous. I don't say this to insult you. It applies to us all, if we aren't careful, and to the extent that we allow our minds to be manipulated by those with the motive, means & opportunity to do so.
