I said that YOU didn't know it, and I still contend that you didn't know it until you looked it up. At least you were able to cut and paste it correctly. Good job, ditz boy.

You had better study the kind of not-thinking because my latest estimate is that 95% of humans are unable to stop this particular kind of not-thinking. However, I'm now looking at that percentage and trying to figure out if this is true with all humans or a particular aspect of Western Civilization thinking. But I'm not sure how to find, and then look, at other kinds of thinking in a non-Western context that occured in the past. If you don't know what I meant, I can't do a rewrite; that's my best for this one ;-). /BAH |
