it has been so sad and rather depressing to watch people bite each others "heads off" on the list the last couple days. its like people feel self righteousness or know-it-all or something, or perhaps, just like to be the devils advocate. buts its sort of as if individuals always try to prove a point that serves one purpose, not to further an important concept, but to prove that they can explain a tiny unimportant and intangible detail (with no real importance or effect on anything logical or necessary,) much better than another person can. are the majority of the listee's that bored?? once and awhile an important topic is discussed, of course, but then it is always broken down into mocking, discussing and ripping apart each others thoughts and perceptions. I just don't see the way to discuss when a common ground cannot be met. and as for the review, one persons perception is beautiful to an artist. If your daughter came to you and said mom, or dad, "your hair is like a silver forest" would you rip apart your child bc it offended you, and made you feel old, or aging, or didn't meet the stereotypical standards of what people should say? No it would be a precious, and cute and funny comment. Now that's a random example, but it goes to prove that people feel and see different things about the things they love, and there is beauty and truth in that. Lets not prejudice someone's interpretation, and then worse, prejudice, someone else for there's of that, and so forth. Manners please.... I've ranted enough.... patty ----- Original Message -----
