I do not think my stated positions are in any way a defeatest attitude as indicated by one post here. If anything, my attitude is one of a realist. Folks, do what you will. For me, it's all a gas---. I am constantly amazed at the passing panoramas unfolded before me. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Stupid or brilliant. (Yes, for sure, some of it IS just plain stupid.) Kurt Vonnegut once said, "Whenever I start to feel the least bit self important, I think of all the dirt that never did get a chance to sit up and look around."
