To All, with kindness

It seems we are trying to choose up sides and marginalize each other in this
forum. I will admit sometimes it is wearisome to read Sq. and others attacks
but I will also say when a sidestep Sq's negativism's he has made substantial
contributions to my understanding. Let me refer back to my perception of the
bell curve theory representing the disbursement of people's thinking. All of
us are involved in many collective consciousness' and most people vary in
their position on this bell curve in relation to others in these different
collective consciousness'. This is one facet of human nature in our
relationship to each collective consciousness. We position ourselves in our
position of most comfort in relationship to the thinking of other
participants in that collective consciousness. We might maintain one position
for instance in a conservative religious organization and another position at
say a flag burning demonstration. This is a good thing. It is what eventually
brings about quality. In a group where there is mostly agreement it is almost
a certainty that they will not find quality for the same reason it is
dangerous to have siblings produce children. If there is anything that will
deter quality it will grow and divert the group from finding quality. If
quality is a desired outcome of this forum we need the diversity that exists
here. I am impressed with the thinking in this forum and encourage diversity,
even when it is uncomfortable.
