Belief is a physiological phenomenon that makes one accept otherwise silly concepts in order to be unison with a group. It is essential for the development of civilisation as we know it.

Trust is an estimate of the future behaviour, extrapolation based on known facts and past performances. The two are completely unrelated. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
