Keith:  I have heard your point often enough. It is a full good , fuzzy
wuzzy feeling kind of argument, like what if there really WASN'T a Santa
Claus??

Yes, servity must be balanced with love and wisdom with understanding, yet
knowledge is pretty much a repeatable verifiable experiment that yield
results again and again whether in the petre dish or in the highest planes
of unitive consciousness.

The problem is not all this trying to make over a cruel world in the phoney
baloney image of the namby pamby liberal mush that has gotten us the
horrors from the gang infested streets where Clinton has never been more popular.
After all that fucker (an I use that term literally, we can all agree on
that) is a victim and Newt Gingrech is a monster because he tried to hold a
university class that wasn't politcally correct while Gore raids Buddhist
temples.  Either me or you need to get a grip, girl and Heaven knows I'm
trying!

Namaste
Keith
