Thanks Dave,

I wish I had the time.   You are probably right.  I was wondering about that 
as I was writing it.  Maybe just in tense situations then, or should I say, 
situations that I perceive to be tense.  On another list someone wrote in 
capital letters and someone else said, "You don't have to shout!"  Our 
perceptions are determined by our point of reference so much more than by 
reality, I think.  In alternative process they were so "open" as to 
stereotype each other and denigrate each others work.  They have almost shut 
down completely.  I have seen one post in the last week.  Just one post a few 
minutes ago.  "Man, it sure has been quiet around here lately..."
I hate violence and will usually not stay long when it is present.  I am 
trying to overcome that.  I made myself watch Jenny Jones yesterday and it 
reminded me of those cartoons where they use wildcards is it called?
#*#$, well, not exactly, but you know what I mean.  In the throes of passion 
they were talking over each other to the extent that you couldn't 
understand anything they said at all.  Every now and then something 
intelligible would come out of it.  Once:  "you don't need a doctorate in
houchie couchie!"  And one woman, dressed professionally, as if she may 
be a school teacher or business woman--blouse buttoned all the way up to 
her collar--very conservatively dressed told this one girl on stage who was 
heavy set and scantily dressed,  "have you seen the cows exhibited in New 
York?" 
It was hilarious--at the expense of someone else.  O.K., so maybe it changed 
the way they dressed, but maybe the price they paid for their brutal 
education  was 
their own creativity.  At this point I think the only value of violence is 
that it acts as 
some sort of laxative for the spirit.  The Baha'i writings say it is the 
clash of ideas 
that ignite the spark of truth.  It is my limited perspective that the clash 
of personalities put out the fire.  Gotta run, Mt. Fuji awaits.  (my laundry)
