There have been a lot of interesting responses and I hope to get to many of them in the near future. I have semi-unexpected dinner guests tonight so I have to do some things right now which means I can't explore some of the more philosophical aspects of the replies. There is one I just couldn't pass up and the response is rather quick, so if you will forgive me I will respond only to him right now.
