I guess, Little Hawk, I have a kneejerk reaction to the term "conventional mind". What does a conventional mind look like? Where can I find one? In my experience the more I talk to different people the less I"m able to pigeonhole them and say that because such and such does A then they will also believe B. I don't ask every person on the street what they think of the possibility of life on Mars, I really shouldn't assume I know what they think.
