Bill, if your pothole role ever does get too tired and old for you, you could try fixing with exactly the opposite ingrediants that created it in the first place. "Fill" your ignorance of the subject at hand with real practical first-hand knowledge; your
inexperience with experience; and your preconceptions, prejudices and biases with objectivity, tolerance and truth.

ANd if this doesn't appeal, you could fill your potholes with the most difficult and humbling of all ingredients.

Silence.

It's an excellent way of conserving personal time and energy, and ensuring that personal ignorance and prejudices do not mislead, offend, distract, delay or otherwise harm fellow 'travellers' on the road of life.

But seriously, your potholes aren't big enough to bother me. And if they were, I wouldn't be bothered trying to fix 'em for you. THat's your problem!

Nope, I'd just make me another road! Easy. I like doing that, and I've always preferred the 'road less travelled' anyway.

And wow, it's amazing to me how quickly Einstein and Jung are outsmarted, discredited, put in their proper 'place' by the absolute geniuses who post on this site! WHat a fountain of wisdom and knowledge and truth the Cat must be!!   ;-)

Seriously though, if I wanted information about the best Canadian-made guitars for the buck, I wouldn't ask Einstein. I'd (maybe) ask Clinton! That's because while Albert had no experience with or working knowledge of Canadian guitars, CLinton does.

In the same vein if I wanted to learn about astrology, believe me I wouldn't ask Clinton! Or Bill, or Wolfgang, or Bagpuss, or TIA's friends. These people know absolutely diddley squat about astrology, by their own admission; therefore, their opinions on the subject are about as valuable and appealing to me as several big buckets of buttered diarrhea.

No, I look to Einstein, and I ponder his wise words very carefully.   Jung too, and the other great scientists and thinkers throughout history who DID undertake a serious and well-documented study of astrology throughout their lives.

But most of all, as LH pointed out --- I look to my own personal studies, first-hand observations and real physical experiences. Because in the end, that's the only way anything can really be known.   "Believing" just doesn't cut it, and it never has. For me.
