I stay inside, locked away with my paranoia (well, laziness, actually. The paranoia thing is just a cover story.) much of the time, and I've never experienced any crime. Nuthin', not even a friendly mugging. Of course, my friend said someone would have to be desperate to mug a six-foot redhead with an insane look in his eyes, but frankly, I think he was on quite a bit o' the mind-altering substances at the time, so I just ignore anything he said. Which brings me to my point: I learned, after reading over my yesterday's posts, that I get kinda annoying after the eighth cup of coffee. Go figure.

I found that everything that happens in life, happens for a reason. I find that just about every individual on this board, (minus a few mindless babbling fools that have nothing better to do than to spew vulgarities), enrich my life with thier contributions. For such reasons I continue to visit this web page. With your break up with Yasmine (?) it is an unfortunate thing, but your life has been made to be that much more now after knowing her, than it has been before. Fortunately your life will fruitfully evolve with your friends on TBW as well as by those who surround you. Then perhaps one day you will look back and remember Yasmine with fond memories, but will be able to move onto a new relationship with an individual who you will find to be your equal. Until then the best of luck to you.

Before the cruise, my wife du jour and I had spent a glorious week at Caneel Bay on St. John, V.I., so, admittedly, I was spoiled rotten when we got to San Juan to catch the Song of Norway and the full-tilt boogie. If you want to be pampered at your leisure on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, eat five-star food and take day sailing trips to fabulous snorkeling reefs, for a little more than a cruise would cost, go to Caneel Bay. If I ever cruise again, it will not be on one of those touristy excursion cum pandemonium ships. I love the sea, but I refuse to be sardined with a gaggle of frantic, ugly, uncultured people desperate to have "fun." I'll hold out for a trans-Atlantic voyage culminating in a fjord cruise into Scandinavian waters. Ideally, of course, hitting the Lotto and hiring a private yacht for a world cruise would really trip my trigger. If I'm going to dream, I may as well dream large, eh?

I don't like people enough to have been comfortable with all the cheer- leaders and organized hustle and bustle. The ports of call were the whip, though. Where all did you go? Ms Kitty Thank you.

My guess, given the personality you express here, is that you will soon no longer feel like fighting fate, trying to will what cannot be willed. I believe you know that in personal relationships it's very difficult to be sure that each stays on the same level of attachment or detachment as the other--especially when physically separated. Life and love are rarely "fair," but how we react to adversity does make a difference. So grieve; I will not discount the depth and power of your pain.

I will try to be honest with myself in the future... PhantoM Yes, of course you and PC are right: Yasmine has contributed to my life with so many things...so many memories, so many good times. Also, due to her I quit smoking and started working out !!

Adam: There is a third state of love relationships: if the thwarted parties cannot let go, then they can linger in unfulfilled frustration. Atreju: P.C. is right. There are few heart-felt pains worse than a love lost, but, even if you two donÕt get back together, Yasmine made your life richer than it was, and that you shall have forever. Knowing of her through you made my life a little richer too. Thanks. "Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses: Cupid paid.

Only good memories. It's excellent actually - suddenly remember a lot of things that had "slipped"... However, another huge irony that I didn't tell her about (don't know if she noticed): she broke up with me on the day after our 5-month day. Life is weird sometimes....

I think the very idea of professional Critics is pretty Dangerous to any art form. The Academy -essentially professional critcs - obviously turned off their artistic reasoning and fell for the Hype.

How about having P.C. bust up the walls so we can get to the power and plumbing, and let Adam, a proven wall builder, install the counter & new stuff? Atreju: Welcome back, even if I did have to goad you a bit. Ah, but my heart broke a bit to hear that Yasmine no longer pines for your presence.

I know it's been a while since I last logged on, and - to tell the truth - I haven't read the old posts, and so I haven't a clue as to what's going on...but PhantoM mailed me yesterday, reminding me - in the midst of my business - that this place still excists. So here I am... Also had to vent somewhere that my Yasmine has "set me free". The distance killed us in the end. She had not ruled me out completely though - we have agreed to see what happens when we next meet....but, to quote Nada Surf: "Even if you don't really like the person, and have gone together for only a short time, there's still a feeling of hurt and rejection when someone tells you they prefer the company of others to your exclusive company." I know we lived half a world apart, but it just popped into my mind, and knowing this place, I know that I could post it without fearing for my neck the next time I log on... :-) Take care "all of ya'll" (the plural of ya'll, btw...hehehe...)

I enjoyed "Titanic" it was a great film......but, it was not the best of the five flicks nominated. just the longest. "LA Confidential" was the first movie of the bunch that I saw and my choice for "best picture". it was such an interesting movie, a tad violent, but alot of style and humor gave it balance. I remember telling my wife when it ended, as we were walking out "damn that was a great flick"! this one hits the video store april 14th, watch it. I saw "Good Will Hunting" at home on what is called a video "Critic's Screener". I missed the group rush and scale one gets at the theater, but I feel it did not matter with this flick. much better than "Titanic". "the Full Monty" is perfect proof that you don't need $200,000,000 to make a great movie. my only gripe with this flick is a 90.min. run time. a little more time and they could have had a winner. (Screenplay, at least) "As Good As it Gets" sucked, when compared to the other four. jack was jack, the greatest actor the world will ever know. but this flick was just another movie of the week. anyway, about my picks. 5.5 out of 8, not bad......do I get the Helen Hunt one? best picture. it had to be "Titanic" I saw this movie the day it opened which is always a good Idea. I had no expectations at all other than a 2min trailer i saw on a video tape. the film took me and everybody that saw it early by complete surprise. anyone who sees this flick after the hype, the awards, and rave will not have their expectations met. they are just going in to high. so how is your pie? eat it all............. bitz USA IP Address - senior-house.mit.edu Thu Mar 26 5:50:20 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why is it that if Bill Clinton has an affair with his wife, everybody notices, but if Larry King has a wife with his affair, nobody really cares?

But 'they' do a good job of hiding instances like that, so the public will feel safer. That is why we grow our own beef here on our little family farm. Our cows get very little commercial grain-lots of organic hay and veggies from the garden. If you ever tasted our hamburger, you would agree that the supermarket beef tastes like Sh*t.

Matthew Fox Redruth, Cornwall, ENGLAND IP Address - barracuda.rmplc.co.uk Mon Mar 23 3:47:30 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moosehead, your friend has apparently been diagnosed with a form of what is called "lymphoma", a general term for new tissue growth (or uncontrolled cellular hyperplasia) within the lymph node itself or along one of the associated ducts. The function of the system as a whole is to: 1-produce lymphocytes and monocytes for use in fighting infections, and 2- act as "filters", keeping particulate matter from entering the bloodstream. This matter would usually be bacteria. The node may also stop cancer cells, but they may also originate within the node itself. If this is the case, it is usually one of the following: Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma, and malignant lymphoma. These respond in varying degree to both chemotherapeautic agents (multiple agents and combinations are available) and focused-beam nuclear radiation therapy. This is all fairly general data-anything more specific would require more detailed clinical history than you probably have access to. In any case, in years past these types of neoplasms were, to a large extent, often fatal. This is no longer the case, but your friend needs to get involved with an oncology specialist A.S.A.P.

Adam USA IP Address - 206.104.75.108 Thu Mar 19 17:21:25 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Teleute: There are differing definitions of pornography, but I believe it is best defined within the context of the intent of the author: "writings, pictures, etc. intended to arouse sexual desire" (Webster, unabridged). I cannot deny that there are very well-done pictures of very beautiful women published as pornography which, if removed from that context, could qualify as a true study in the female body as an art form, but that is not an excuse for seeking art there. Just as there is a difference between nakedness and nudity, pornography presents as a frank appeal to oneÕs prurient interests, not artistic appreciation.

I'd never heard the word used so loosely 'til I got to Texass. That word and the Confederate Flag are all over the place. I have less problem with the Flag, only because I see it as a relic from bygone days, a place my Ancestors came from. The flag to me, only represents my heritage, and to my knowledge, none of my ancestors ever owned any slaves - nonetheless, because of the negativity surrounding it, I don't hang it anywhere or anything like that. Ever heard the Public Enemy song "Yo' Nigga"? Flav pretty much nails my opinion of Black on Black use of the "N" word. Thanks again, Ace.....

People often fail to realize the certain words carry certain weights, and the word nigger carries probably the most weight in the English language. To me, it singlurly symbolizes the hatered and oppression that was slavery (I feel the same way about the Confederate flag). Although some black try to pervert the word into a positive (as if to say "look what we, as a people, have survived you're one tough m/f), it can't overpower the real meaning for me.

Necromancer: Your premise is correct that certain situations have visualization privilege, but I believe that even then a violating observer is given certain latitude consideration. An observer who innocently happens upon such a privileged situation cannot be aware of violation until it has occurred. Therefore, such trespass must be judged in view of willfulness, such as premeditation (Peeping Tom) or failure to break the visual contact with all due and possible haste.

Depending on the location in which this "visual transgression" takes place, the individual looking may be committing an invasion of privacy. For example, if you look at a hospitalized patient while cares are being performed for that patient, you may be legally liable for damages under the patient privacy laws that exist. There are cases in which this has been upheld as legally actionable, whether you know the visualized individual or not. Ergo, ocular trespass does exist, and it is not legal. There are other forms, as well.

Teleute I agree that my co-workers can be a very sad bunch at times, as I'm sure we all can, but most of them are not anti-gay. We wind up one or two of my colleagues (the male ones) because one of the stewards from Bristol says that they are "yummy" or "delicious". Ironically one of these is the one that branded me "friends with all the queers". BTW, I've heard "see you in the funny papers" somewhere before.

It was called "Cirque Du Soleil" (maybe you've heard of them?) And they were doing a show called "Quidam". I beleive it was a French circus, and it wasn't elephants or stuff like that, but contortionists and surreal dance kind of things. I think they came from Canada originally.

Livvy & Teleute: I agree with Olivia, I think it's a matter of context. If it's intended to be harmful, that's probably how it'll be received. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be done in friendly jest, and feelings still get a little hurt. I love that Olivia trusts me enough to see humor in me saying, "Oh quit being so Butch!" or something like that, yet I'd certainly be hesitant to do it publicly, so as not to encourage lesser companions. Does that make sense? I've probably rambled a bit. As far as the calling themselves Queer goes, a lot of my black friends throw the "N" word around a lot, but it's unacceptable for a member of any other race to do it. So, I guess it's not that uncommon. Ace? Any input into that ?

Rupert: You are entirely correct. We cannot condemn those who act in a "good" manner according to their value system. Unfortunately, while we may feel the need to convince them (prior subject tribes) of the "sanctity of human life" so that we no longer need to fear or condemn them, they too may equally, and rightfully so, feel the need to convince us of their position. And, as you said, recognizing that Good is relative to the beholderÕs value system, terrible things are not only allowed but probable, and disharmony is virtually assured. Absent an anchor that is external to all participants, perception of Goodness does indeed derive from individual knowledge, and is therefore exceedingly relative. Note here that if God exists, then His Word and Law are Truth and, as to what constitutes Good, are the external anchor required for universal harmony. This is why mankind needs God (but just one). Still, even if we accept God, we individually understand His intentions through our individual knowledge and so, as imperfect mortals, we can never be assured that our comprehension is correct. Is there an answer to this dilemma? Can we can we at least approximate the Truth of universal Goodness? I believe we can, but my proposal shall require a bit of preparation lest it ramble unto eternity. To be continued.

Yet when we look at the tribesmen's behaviour in the context of their own value system, are we right to condemn them? Do we not 'forgive them for they know not what they do'? If we made them understand the sanctity of human life as we do, brought them to that knowledge, we may then rightly condemn them. Goodness has a context of knowledge - that is the anchor. What is right in a certain context can be wrong in another. But within each context there remains the fact of the existence of Good. Of course such an explanation allows for terrible things, and offers little foundation for harmony, but I'm talking about the way things are rather than the way things should be. As to where Good comes from, f**k knows. Rupert IP Address - beeleyco.demon.co.uk Fri Mar 13 11:23:31 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rupert: You state that you can recognize Good (and Bad) whether it be within you or outside you, and that "Good just is." What is your standard of comparison and where did it come from? Absent an absolute standard (an anchor), goodness is indeed relative. I would hazard the assumption that most of us on TBW would agree, in general, that killing our fellow man is not good. Yet tribes exist which recognize (from knowledge) that it is "good" for a young man to seek and kill an "enemy" warrior for no reason other than it is necessary as a rite of passage to officially recognized manhood. Absent a "higher authority" standard, I might use this knowledge to conclude that we should replace our arbitrary age limits (adulthood assumptions) for drinking and driving with similar tests for maturity. I could even justify that further as a concomitant and expedient means of population control. Now, as I read it, you and Skippy consider that our personal body of knowledge can serve alone as our own standard of goodness, without having to take into consideration the tenets of "higher authority." I disagree. Recognition of Good and Bad is the crux of the behavioral control process, and, like all processes, if left to itself it will eventually spin out of control. History is replete with the mischief and grief wrought by those who considered naught but their own concept of Good and Bad. All processes require feedback from "higher authority" (external and absolute) standards if stability is to be maintained. We cannot rely on self-evaluation because, as I said before, a ruler cannot take its own measure.

You don't have to be Moral to be Charitable. You don't have to be Ethical to be Moral. You don't have to be a Christian or a member of any faith to be a good person. So why do we need God? Grace. Total Grace. High Morals, strong ethics and Charitable contributions are all good and worthy traits, but only the Grace of God can save man from himself. The recovering Alcoholics (opening a can of worms here) I know all talk about the moment they went from their spiritual lowest to their spiritual highest when they realized that inspite of the damage they'd done, God still had Absolute Love for them. That's Grace. So trading God for Good is a cute word play, but your're selling yourself and His abilities short. Adam USA IP Address - 206.104.75.108 Fri Mar 13 9:13:29 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just another comment: A few years ago, my uncle died of multiple scrolosis. He had suffered with this illness for decades. My mom (who was one of his favorite nieces) was asleep one night when she said she woke right up suddenly. She knew she was awake, and not dreaming. The room is shaded and very dark as a rule. Then the whole room lit up with a bright, soft glow in the corner, and it expanded to fill the whole room. Mom felt joy and peace radiating from it, then it slowly faded. Mom knew then that my uncle had died and he wanted to let her know that it was ok and he was finally free from the pain. The time of death was confirmed the next day when my aunt called. It gives me hope that the soul will feel wonderful when we die, and we won't care about anything after that.

In my quest for knowledge about what the spark of life is, I have found myself reading books on documented ghosts and hauntings-ones that many people over many years have encountered. So many people witnessing these phenomenon tells me that there is an energy or presence connected with people which remains when we die. For whatever reason, the energy and/or personality remains. One good New England book documents the ghost of a young boy who was shot by an old man on the roof of the man's house as the boy was playing a Halloween trick on him. Ever since, on Halloween night the ghost of the boy terrorizes owners of the house. The local police department is familiar with this because they get called out to the house every Halloween when the new owners discover their immortal prankster. I can't remember the title, but it's good. Peppermint Patty The Great State O'Maine USA IP Address - rcd1.meaugusta.fsc.usda.gov Fri Mar 13 8:39:56 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perhaps, a day on, this subject is exhausted but I would like to throw this in. I've always found it very interesting and illuminating to substitute Good for God as Skip suggests. I can readily recognise Good, pursue Good, love Good, deny Good. Similarly I can recognise its opposite. Whether it is within us or outside us seems to me to be a meaningless distinction. Is love within us or outside us? It exists independently of us in that it continues to exist when we die, but if all people die there can be no love. As to whether Good is absolute, this too seems to me to be meaningless. To observe that there is no absolute black demonstrates nothing. Good just is. There is Good. There is Good in the same way that there is life. Is life absolute? This means nothing. Some argue that the concept of Good is merely a social mechanism that we have created in order to effect an orderly existence, but does not all our experience, all that we have come to know - thank you, Phanty - deny this? If we cannot admit this knowledge then we must conclude that we cannot know anything; a tenable but tedious position. Of course there are degrees of Good, but that does not make Good relative. A jug may have more or less water in it but there is still water. Similarly there are unreconcileable moral dilemmas, but they do not subtract from the fact of Good, and its opposite; they merely highlight the complexity of life and the wonderful burden of free will. Adam please substitute God for Good if you wish.

If God is Good misspelled, Man is empowered. Accepting that we are endowed with innate quality allows us to live without the need for a father figure. That Man created God in his own likeness is logical but smacks of superstition. What we can be only relatively certain of is that the man Jesus set a good example. Sheep need a shepherd only because the shepherd wants them in a flock; which is more easily controlled. In the end there may or may not be the right or the wrong, if indeed there is an end. If there is, there will surely be the dead. Indigo passions, chartreuse motel, Blue mornings after, feeling like hell. Big yellow taxi, dusty and grey Coming to take you away.

Man, alone and left to himself without "higher" guidance, has little reason to consider the welfare of others above himself. Organized religion is no more free of error than those imperfect mortals that comprise it. When judging religion, look not at the failures of certain false or misguided practitioners, but at the collective lives of those who adhere to the *core tenets* of their faith. "Without any possibility of being certain of our assessments, we must learn to do the best we can and to find it sufficient, completely on our own with only the higher power within each of us as a guide." Sounds good, but the fallacy is that a ruler cannot take its own measure. Adam: Again, I cannot disagree with what you said, from your perspective. But, just because you find GodÕs Word to be clear does not mean that all other (equally sincere) Christians will agree with you on all points of interpretation and application. The commandant "Thou shall not kill" would seem to be rather clear and unequivocal. However, there are many "committed Christians" who will argue that what was meant by "kill" (put to death or deprive of life) was "murder" (unlawful killing, especially with premeditation or malice), and that capital punishment and killing in defense are therefore OK. You skipped (conveniently?) over my argument that if GodÕs Word was universally clear to all, there should not be any disagreement as to its interpretation or application. {Wow, IÕm behind, but will flush this one anyway} PhantoM LA, CA USA IP Address - 1cust188.tnt14.lax3.da.uu.net Thu Mar 12 17:27:39 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ D'OH! stupid H T M L .... phor = M E T A phor.

We're discussing the existence or lack thereof of a true universal law. A higher code, Absolute Ethics. You're right God does show His grace through the Beauty of Earth, not our gift to take advantage of, but our home to share, and be Stewards of. But that's not the point. The point is whether or not our actions on this planet can or cannot be held in contrast or comparison to an Absolute Right or Wrong. Black/White is just a phor for the contrast of Right and Wrong. Yes, Wiccan and Hindus and Muslims and Christians and Aetheists (though not a Religion) all do exist but existence hardly equals right. In the End, there will be the Right and the Wrong.

I agree with the Rainbow concept wholeheartedly. Teleute Life is one of those gifts God gives us that remains to be unexplained...we as humans strive for undertsanding, and yet end up worse off than when we started. We answer questions with more questions and yet get no where. So we look to the sky and wonder....wish. Some dream. I, however, wish not to know. I have seen too many things in my life...too much pain. I fear that the answer to life is a painful one, like everything else...so I fly, hoping to escape....like the bird. And ironically, I died as well, like the bird...but the rebirth is astounding. It opens a light beyond the rays the sun gives us in the sky...so many, like the bird, die for their dreams....feel sad for them not, for they are free at last.

Disappear for a short time, and the men start on religion. I'm missing the fun. My only question is.... Do you not seen the color in life? People speak of black and white, and the grays of matters, trival or not. Through these things we establish our beliefs...a foundation. We carry on, giving our opinions and end up disputing over personal preference in matters only to be kept to a single soul. We speak of God and his gifts through these melloncollie tones that make the daylight fade into darkness. And yet, no one is to speak of the color. Color God gave us, and upon your religious reference (for I know I do not share most views with the Christian, and other religious members of the wall, so I procceed with caution) and the presentation that he presents these colors through...the earth herself. Blues that accent the dpression of the soul and bright crimsons that stain the flesh....colors God gave us to express ourselves, and to hold Hislaws in. Not in such a small number of tones, but in a vast collection of greens, oranges, yellows, violets...He has given us such a wide vareity, and yet you only see such sullen contrast? He shows His love, law, and perfection in everday things....a flagrant and lively flower on the side of the road, or a masterpiece such as a celestial sunset...and it remains unseen to many...so many. Open yourselves and look what your religion has given you. Faith keeps the soul alive...faith, love, and companionship....these things EVERY religion gives it's followers...from Christianity to Buddisum, from the Aethest (pardon spelling) to Wiccan. It's all within and around us...yet humans stay so blind. It is only the heart that which can see.....

You guys are being profound. There's not much my small noggin can add to your debate, except to say a few things I believe: The world is not Black and White, with total absolutes we mortals can look up to accord our lives to. And if there is, only God could see it. Nor is life Shades of Gray. Why? Simply because that makes the world sound ambiguous and depressing. This may sound sappy or ill-informed, but I see the world as a Rainbow, and infinitely colored realm of Being. Also, something that may prove food for thought is that I think that maybe it's not the Ultimate Answer that gives our life meaning, but the Quest for the Ultimate Answer (however pretentious my caps look). Make of these ramblings what you will. I'm feeling a wee bit sad, because I found a dead bird in my yard today. He was lying on the grass like something had struck him out of the sky without touching him. His eyes were wide open. I wonder what he was looking at when he fell out of the sky. I could see him just flying through the air (if you'll pardon the expression) as free as a bird. Now he was lying dead on the ground without a spark of life or consciousnous in him. I wonder what the spark of life is. What makes us live? What separates a corpse from living chunk of meat? Also, I was sobered by the fact that I could die at anytime. It could in the next five minutes or the next five decades. But I will die, just like he did. It gave me some not-too-pretty perspective from a pretty high vantage point.

Even Christ made it pretty clear when he said the most important laws were to "Love God and Love Each Other" God has given us His word and Demonstrated His Presence in our lives time and time again. As Humans, we find that His will for us often conflicts with Our wants and choose to ignore Him. While God did make Himself perfectly Universally clear, did he not also grant man Free Will?

Adam USA IP Address - 206.104.75.108 Thu Mar 12 15:34:35 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The religious speak of God as a power *outside* ourselves, a power greater than ours alone. They claim to believe in this power without physical evidence, and label events they cannot explain as miracles. There is another way of having faith and believing in miracles that neither requires nor excludes a universal God and the sacred writings that allow us to hear *His* words. Faith opens us to the higher power power that lies *within* each of us and the miracles that our experience of life provides. Without any possibility of being certain of our assessments, we must learn to do the best we can and to find it sufficient, completely on our own with only the higher power within each of us as a guide. So whether or not "God" exists, faith is the awesome journey. My objection to religion is that those institutions are supported by aggressive proselytism. If there was no money to be earned and no political power to be wielded, churches would be more concerned with the spiritual welfare of those who seek and trudge their own roads of happy destiny. Skippy Reboot USA IP Address - a149.tc-1.etn.infinet.com Thu Mar 12 15:30:07 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adam: Your assesment of my logic is correct. The thing is the lack of absolutes, in fact, is a cause of hope. Without it, humans could not change their preceptions on what is right or wrong. We would be stuck in the same logic as feudal time because we could not change our views. Even if there is a God, there still are absolute for humans. Here why: God gives us his message. Our job as humans is to interput this message and excute it. Humans being imperfect beings don't get everything about everything right. Plus, others have a different interputation of your revolation (even into the oppsite of what you said). That's why religon is an evoling medium. We as imperfect humans can never get it exactly right. Since (s)he knowns all, God is the only one who can know absolutes. I'm done now!

Adam: If GodÕs Word is not seen through the imperfect filter of manÕs perceptions then there would be no disagreement as to its meaning. Jews, Christians and Muslims, and their myriad sects, all claim to believe in the same God, yet what misery has been wrought throughout history by differences as to what GodÕs Law is, and how it is to be applied. I have no doubt that if a perfect God chose to make His Law universally clear that He could do so, but where is it recorded that He did that? He is just as capable of intentionally *not* making it universally clear, and He is the recorded author of Babel.

For things to exist, in the mind of society (the defining factor in what is real for us), they must be defined. For us to say that something is definately black or white, we have to know all the possible encarantions of that thing past, present and future. To say this would mean that man know all about everything. Therefor, it is impossible for man to say there is a true black or white.

Irrespective of my ignorance of Truth in anything, I shall surely believe that I fell down the stairs, for knowledge shall so dictate. Truth is not prerequisite to knowledge, nor is TruthÕs elusiveness an excuse for mortal indecision or apathy. Knowledge (selected definitions): (1) Familiarity, awareness, or understanding gained through experience or study. (2) The sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered, or learned. --Courtesy of Mr. Webster Adam: Again, we are not in disagreement, as I have not discounted anything you said. Truth is indeed all about us, and knowing that we cannot know it with certainty is no excuse for not seeking it to the best of our abilities. This, as inquisitive mortals, we do all the time. What I argue against is the mortal delusion of confusing knowledge, which is relative and inexact, with Truth, which is absolute. And none of this argues against ordering oneÕs life according to an eternal value system, but understand that we do so on the bases of perception, reason and faith. God has given us His law, but we have it through mortal perception. Therein lies the problem, and the reason for individual faith, which is accepted belief in that which cannot be proven.

You are right that we can never know that we know the truth, yet, we can act in a manner that lines up with the absolute. God has provided us with His law, thereby giving the key to living in sync with the absolute. We don't need to perceive or even understand the truth so much as we do live in it. I do believe, however that there are moments of utter clarity, where the truth is displayed before us, and our soul recognizes it. Enlightened souls are among us. Spiritual gifts are provided to each of us to help one another along. The Absolute exists not as a quest, but as a guidline along the way.

Look closer and more critically at what I said, as I usually choose my words carefully. "There is no black or white surety in life; everything we know is perception..." The words "life" and "we" restrict my statements to mortals, and mortals cannot know black and white with *surety* (truth with certainty) because all mortal "knowledge" comes from perceptions, and all mortal perceptions contain probable human error. Even if we do perceive truth, we can never know with certainty that we know it. Only the omniscient can know truth with certainty, and therefore know black and white with surety. Perfection is GodÕs purview alone, and those who deny His existence lack hope for ever knowing truth with certainty. Any mortal who claims to know truth has closed his mind to ever finding out otherwise. The only certain truth that mankind can have is the knowledge that he cannot have it.

PhantoM? Wow, that's surprising coming from you. I think that there is an absolute - black and white - to every issue. We, as imperfect beings, fail to see it at times, but it's there. There are too many things that humans go through for there to be no Absolute - total love, total suffering, total joy, loss are only really worthwhile experiences, when accepted as absolutes. God provides us with absolute Love, Law, and Truth. We have an amazing knack for rationalization and justification of actions that fall short of the absolute, so we pretend to see grey, knowing full well that we're approaching the situation selfishly. When we learn to be less self-centered and more centered on the Truth, we can begin to get a glimpse of Black and White and act accordingly.

"keep'n open mind" chemical dependency/addiction/abuse in not a disease. I spent 3 years clean/sober/and 1 of those years in therapy, then I spent 5 more years clean/sober/ and counseling. after about two years of counseling I drop the alcoholic/12 step/AA approach and I stopped attending myself. I started to disagree with some of AA's idea's/suggestions. I wanted to be happier than what AA offered. I wanted more than to; still be "sick" after years of involvement, what kind of recovery is that?. I wanted more than a lifelong condition I would have to keep in check. so, back to therapy, and yes, I'm cured, recoverd. I'm not looking for a "loophole". I found the "loophole". self-knowledge. abstainence from drugs/alcohol was just the beginning and now I'm happy to report my "disease" is in full remission. I'll take a drink every whenever, like you said it's not an issue. one of the things I've learned is this; for the most part the AA/12step approach does not "work" in detox/treatment facilities. yet most of the hospitals (in the northeast) insist that client/patient attend AA/12step meetings, at one facility I worked at meetings were mandatory, and if you did not attend, you were discharged. thats not "attraction" I brought this up at an AA meeting one night stating it violates their valued tradition, all I got for feedback was, "AA in detox saved my life". what about the other thirty-four (is it still 1 out of 35) that were discharged for not wanting too or feeling they don't need too attend. also, AA is a religous program, I'll never understand how any member can actually stand in front of hundreds of people at meetings or tell a radio audience or those in TV land that it is not. all one has to do is open the "big book" which some members call their bible. my gripe is work oriented. I cannot tell a client that he/she has to attend when I know they are not ready to. AA does more harm than good in this setting. the administrators that set policy are members of AA so they feel it should stay, I do agree with alot of AA's philosophy, it is a truley wonderful place to gain strength and support, it opened my eyes and help me down a road I never thought I was capable of traveling and it has made all the difference in my life ten years ago. today I am the happiest person I know, and I am forever indebt to that "simple program". but, "it's not for everyboby". in fact, it's only for a very few. . bitz USA IP Address - senior-house.mit.edu Thu Mar 12 3:38:06 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raven: Thanxs for the bedtime song (aswell as some distraction to keep me from writing my paper).

I have had long hair for a while now. Once it is long enough to tie back, the wind problems are not severe. Until that length beware!! Another thing is reaction. Peoples reactions to you will change. I must say though,I love nothing better than passing someone quickly just to open the door for them.Confuses them greatly,for my appearance dictates something else to them. You will enjoy it.The heat will subside. By the time your hair is long enough to be a problem,summer should be mostly over. You will adjust.So get growing.haha Hey you,yeah you You know who you are.

Anything after the awful 70's. I figure if someone was 20 in '75, they are now 43 and didn't listen to songs in the 80's like early Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, etc. They also probably don't listen the stuff on the radio you hear now. Not that I like all of it, but it is what I would define as 'modern rock'. As opposed to the bubblegum stuff my parents forced me to listen to on their records when I was little. I know an embarassing number of tunes from that time, and also know many of the 'fad' dances from their time (swim, twist, bird, etc). Not that I do them when I go to dances.

So dear one, how is the "project" coming along, if I am permitted to speak of it? Speaking of "sweetheart"I was reading a book about the English Language, and it was found that during early volumes of dictonaries, words were misspelled, and thus leading a creation of new words. "Sweetheart", was originally "Sweet tart". It's really interesting how we got someofour everyday vocabulary...like lonely. Lonely was created by Shakespeare and eventually adopted into the English Lang. What a strange birth of such an important word that has become my best friend of late... If anyone wants to read.....

For such people, their most disastrous alcoholic drink is their first one. I do not have first-hand experience with FAS, nor its cousin in diapers, "drug babies." I am close to those who do, however, up through pre-school, and their tales are heart rending. These unfortunates begin their lives with physical, emotional, and learning disabilities, and many are scarred for life. Rupert, IÕll help where I can, but I do not have tutorial sources for e-mail.

The brain spoke up first, stating that it should be boss because all thought and control came from it. Then the eyes argued that they should be boss because without them the brain would have no vision. Then the ears and mouth added thier two cents, stating without communication there would be enjoyment of life, then the legs said they should be boss because they transport the whole operation. Finally the a$$hole spoke up and said that it was going to be boss of the body, and all the other body parts laughed. Until the a$$hole refused to work and closed up, the brain swelled with fever, the eyes bulged with sickness, the mouth dried up and the ears became clogged and the legs weakened. Finally, they declared the a$$hole ruler of the body. So you see Jules, you don't have to be smart, have vision, be a good communicator, or on the go, to be a boss, you just have to be an A$$hole.

He comes from a family with a long line of alcoholics, both mean and happy ones. It worried me when I brought home a 6-pack for myself, and I would have one to relax in front of the tube. He would have one, then another, and on it went. It seemed to bug him that alcohol was in the house, unopened. It had to be sampled at the least. He also used booze as a crutch when he was depressed about something. Got smashed; once so bad he stood out in the snow in stocking feet in January for 1/2 hour talking on the phone. Didn't feel a thing when he came in. I don't know if he is an official alcoholic, but he does have problems dealing with life and himself. It's sad. Peppermint Patty ?, Maine USA IP Address - rcd1.meaugusta.fsc.usda.gov Mon Mar 9 15:20:39 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's been bugging me all day so here it goes. My mother was and is an alcoholic. She never knew she was, in fact her sterotype of an alcoholic was someone who got up in the morning, and had a beer, first thing, and carried the habit until they went to bed. She was right, but gravely mistaken. In her case, she used alcohol to ease her emotions she was having at the time. So whenever she was depressed or lonely, which was VERY often, she went down to the local bar and drank. She never actually got drunk...just drank, and because she used alcohol to "solve" her emotional instablity, and so forth, she is deemed an alcoholic, those who had dependancies on the drink. I never saw my mother as an alcoholic, I never will, but as I said, it's all in point of view, and your education on the matter. But once you become an alcoholic, it stays with you and it is a constant fight til the day you die.... there's my two cents.

Just shut up and leave me alone !!"? PhantoM Thanks on both counts (bitz & Rupert). BTW, on reflection, substitute eclectic for esoteric. bitz "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." That was Hamlet's mother. I say, you sound defensive. Alcoholism is a disease because it is a pathological process. Without treatment it only gets worse, never better. Irrespective of station,it affects the minds and bodies of a significant percentage of the world's human population, resulting in immeasurable losses of time, money and social integrity at all levels. The medical community hesitates to include alcoholism in its list of "diseases" because Medicine to date has been unable to specify origin, therefore is unable to cut, inject or prescribe to "cure" it. The same goes for Psychiatry. They are powerless and loath to admit it. Now, I have a store of empirical data, and if asked can expound on the mental, physical and spiritual aspects of the disease concept. My questions to you are, if you don't have a problem with alcohol, why all the concern? Why quibble over definitions of a condition by which you are unaffected? I'll let you in on a little secret: social drinkers don't care; don't count their drinks; don't even worry if they're courting disaster. "Normal" drinkers do so with impunity. Is this really only about semantics? Sounds to me as though you're looking for a "loophole." Rupert Get an e-mail account. I will be happy to talk with another friend of Bill Wilson (FOB).

Temporary mental disturbance and muscular incoordination caused by excessive consumption of alcohol.

I have never met an "alcoholic". I've have met quite a few people that were chemically dependant (they think their an alcoholic) and I met an incredible amount of individuals that abused alcohol to the point of disruption in their life (they think they are alcoholic too). I have also attended/facilitated/instructed countless "rational programs", "moderation management sessions", "12 step programs", and of course "AA meetings". most if not all of the self called "alcoholics" want nothing to do with the first two. "alcoholics" also have problems that go way beyond drink. first of all they actually think they were born that way, or think they were addicted after their first drink, which is chemically impossible. AA is a great start but one has to move beyond that and quickly before they get caught and dooped into the belief they suffer from a disease.........what the hell am I talking about?

If someone you know is a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality when drinking, consistently drinks for effect and to excess, and causes problems for themselves and others when drinking, that person is at best a "problem drinker," and likely an alcoholic. As long as he or she drinks, the good will never outweigh the bad, the positive the negative, the fun the heartache. Drunks are charming, exciting, often intelligent and gregarious, but strangely preoccupied with and desperate about alchohol. The pain they cause others has nothing to do with others, and they always feel remorse and guilt for their behavior, apologizing profusely over and over for it, only to repeat it over and over. Emotionally healthy people refuse to be victimized by drunks--they walk away. That's my advice: Step off G-Dog. "This above all: to thine own self be true..." The universal law is that "...all that glisters is not gold." Real alcoholics do not "grow out of it." They recover, die or end up in some sort of institution. Sadly, most die drunk, leaving in their wakes destruction and sorrow. Don't wind up as wreckage of someone else's past. BTW, I got sober in Cincinnati eight years ago. If I can do it there, *any* idiot can.

Just try meeting someone informally. Don't make it a "date". Just a suggestion there.

I for one appreciate your pointing out where I may need to improve, whether it be attitudinal or typographical. "Predudice" was a typo. Contrary to what some here assume, I C&P almost never--at least not directly. I usually copy to EditPad for manipulation, and have extensive collections of esoteric information, much of which was painstakingly retyped from hard copies; where copied from the net, proofread and cleaned up, as typos and illiteracy are profligate.

Would you mind too terribly telling me a bit about it? I am sorry for all the questions. I am terrible for asking a whole bunch of questions about things I am interesting in learning about. I am afraid I have yet to learn when enough is enough. So if I go beyond the limitaion of questions, please feel free to tell me enough. Janet I am sorry to hear that you have run across too many questionable characters during your stay in Canada. I guess not all of us Canadians are as pleasurable to be around ( ie. that big mouth from Sask.) as I often would like to think. : ^ ) I hope that someday, if you do return for a while, maybe you will meet more people who are not as big of jerks that you have met before (outside of the friends that you have already made in Toronto) . I can say that the people I get around with really don't have that big of a chip on their shoulders : ^ ] .

Unfortunately, the "right tact" is a skill that presently escapes your manipulative capabilities. I did not miss your point, but, whether you intended to or not, you did indeed criticize Skippy, and he gave you exactly the type of response that you invited. That you couched your criticism in the form of a question does not alter the fact that it was still criticism. You have yet to learn when it is appropriate to criticize, how to effectively separate people from their actions, and how to focus positively on the actions with *constructive* criticism. Until you understand these concepts, and master their applications, your comments will continue to be counterproductive. And another thing, my friend, if you create negative feelings within another then you are being negative, irrespective of your intentions. If only you could see yourself as others see you.

The signature is still half hidden. I have made a copy of Angel and rescaned it again, but the results are not pleasing to the eye. A printer cannot reproduce the effects of graphite on paper, thus the contrast in the picture has been severely reduced and the fine lines has disappeared into minute dots. If you still wish to have it dear one, I shall send, but not without guilt in my heart. An artist worries about her works. If they are not in orginal form, she worries more, for she feels her work has been tampered with...not her own. But if you wish it, I shall send. Forgive me that I could not scan to the fullest extent. I have, aslo another masterpiece for you dear one, if you wish to see it.

Peppermint Patty: Special characters (those not on the keyboard) are available through special fonts in word processing programs, or, depending your system, may be available by pressing the Alt key at the same time as a character key. Reason is manÕs faculty for *grasping* the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is manÕs ability to *manipulate* the world with the help of thought. Reason is manÕs instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is manÕs instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man. --Erich Fromm, "The Sane Society," ch. 3.

I camped in the Yukon, and travelled from Edmonton (sp?) to Alaska, and was met with kindness by all the Canadians I encountered. Except in Whitehorse. I don't think they like outsiders there. Scary place, Whitehorse. Indeed. I respect Canada's purity and environmental protection laws, a note the U.S. should read. However, Canada's loyalty to the English crown baffles me. But oh well. Also, Canadian Beer is pretty good.

They also charge about 6 bucks for a pack of cigarettes....but a heart transplant is free under their socialized medicine plan...
