You're still not thinking, Pearl Trade, but it's great how you're trying to. Here's a hint. Actual thinking results in new thoughts. I had a new thought a page or so up on this thread, and we batted it around a while. I'm not convinced about it, but one of the effects of thinking is that you can hold a thought lightly in mind and not get hung up on the truth or untruth of it.
You asked a great question. Why WOULD they attack us? If you set down all the answers you already know ("already knowing" is absolutely antithetical to what I'm calling "thinking") and start just sort of wondering about that question, why before long buddy, you'll be THINKING!
Actual thinking is very rare among humans and other great apes. Bertrand Russel: "Most people would rather die than think, and most of them do."
Arguably, you could say that the moderators have stepped in and put a stop to any thinking on this thread--at least down the lines we're now discussing. So... We may need to take this elsewhere.
