Hey, you started this whole thing in the first place. But, really, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're here for you. Actually, I can't speak for all of "us" nor do I think I am, so I'll take that back. What I REALLY mean to say is that I'M here for you. 'Nuff said.


Yup, the fallibility of the egocentric and inherently selfish naked apes is the the one quality that makes all of our other qualities (intellegence, opposable thumbs, ability to chrun out lame sit-coms ad infititum, etc...) take a back seat. If not for our need - our basic deep-down individual need - to get everything we can out of what ever sitution we are presented with, we could be a paceful, loving, environmentally sustainable, and wholly social society.

Well, we can only all do our part. As Ghandi said (and I paraphrase), to remain neutral in an unbalanced fight is to support the stronger. I think it rings of the Ben Fraknlin concept (as seen as a .sig on this board maybe?) that democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what to have for dinner. It kind of places majority rule in question, and underscores the fact that equality, as we understand it, is basically unequal as long as individual power is variable.

Anyway, thanks again JJ, but you never answered my question about the letters JJ, you aren't the original essayist come back to grace a new millennium with wisdom that we'll probably ignore at our own peril are you?

Peace,

Pierre
