Carl, I am not trying to win friends, merely speak the truth as I see it. I do not expect you, specifically, to like me. I do not blame you for that and I have tried to make it clear why not. It saddens me to realize that it is unlikely that we will ever be friends because the ways we think are so incompatable. There are those who will read what I have written and think, "This is so exactly 'right on'.". These people will be my friends.

I could go on and on, trying to explain myself in an effort to get you to understand me. Wouldn't work. Paradigms, for the most part, are incredibly resistant to change. Mine as well as yours. Best for me merely to wish you well and say, "Go in peace".
