i was typing as i thought (hence the typos)...and i find the use of the
word "should" here also rather unusual. i am quite aware that the use
of "should"/"must"/"have to"/etc ia the language of the abusive

This online optical illusion has become quite popular...
http://www.patmedia.net/marklevinson/cool/cool_illusion.html
Pretty soon you too will see the little green dot :-)
But it only exists in dependence upon the pink dot ..
And yet in the end all the pink dots vanish completely ..
As the illusion takes a hold.
By this stage the object which gives rise to the illusory
object is completely invisible!
Well , I'm up early and I've been reading some stuff ..
on interdependence.
That's my excuse :-)
Happy thoughts .. jv

God I love it when Israel just finally gets out the old hose to piss you
so-called "liberals" in the face like this.

Francis,
What I'm doing here is showing how a particular set of convictions,
according to its own logic, and unless checked in these undesirable
manifestations, will lead to a set of results that we see in works...

one set of beliefs will inevitably cause these symptoms! This ain't
generalizing, this is insight. An entirely different faculty.
