My topic is bigger than your topic...

Primordial(looking out my back window)... Example of how we got to THIS as we evolved from the apes. Remember, the original statement was: "I(Peace) thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about staying on topic." Possible response: "Yeah, so?" Or, O.K., you started one, now what do we do? Or, you are either on the topic being discussed, or you aren't. Then come the TANGENTS...
Your wife asks you to go to the store to buy milk. You go to the store and bring back beer, and you forget the milk. The the DISCUSSION starts. About "it's all, about YOU." Which slips into, "You don't love me anymore." Then she reminds you of your naughty nite in Newcastle, and pretty soon...well, you get the idea(maybe), pretty soon, your up to your Azz in anchovies, when the original intention was to drain the swamp...or something like that.
Don't you feel blessed that no-one has flipped the nuclear switch while all this is going on? Amazing we are all still here with all this divergence....
Anyhound, it's Sunday and I'm going for DIM SUM...
