    Mari wonders what a list of possibilities would look like as to why this
    discord or disagreement or inability to make a point, to get it, to be
    understood to be clear so to allow agreement to happen......didn't doesn't
    happen; here and/or anywhere much of the time. That's the impression i get
    anyway.

    What occurred to me while riding on a Bus from NYC to the Casino is this: in
    order for clear communication to happen one needs to know more than just a
    language....i know that's an understatement but it seems odd to me how some
    issues here in the MoQdg live on like the energizer bunny and i'm wondering
    why?
     For instance does the fact that i mentioned a bus trip and or a trip to a
    casino detract from what i'm attempting to communicate? Is the information
    irrelevant? Does your religious bent slant your interpretation; color it
    judged perhaps. Does communication get interfered with and or interrupted by
    things that might be important to understand because they exist, are
    there/here/ present/active and are in effect effecting the light of the
    matter. In other words do your judgments about the person or group that is
    speaking disallow the best level of communication? i think it does. Is it
    possible to grok when prejudice is present? i think not. Doesn't the PRE
    part of prejudice suggest that it comes from the past carried forward in
    river of karma that goes with that particular slant. Level 4 is being level
    3. enacting the collective conscience of 3. i think it's possible for level
    4 to be a level 4 prejudice but this is rare air IMO.
    How is this related to linear causality or even this post?
