Not too much here that would raise hackles on the everything-list, but (IMHO) for the first sentence--

The word "believe" can mean many things but in my parlance it means to attach a very high confidence to a proposition. I believe that eating satiates my hunger, that the Pacific Ocean lies a few miles to my west, that if I sit in a chair I will not fall through it to the ground, etc. I also from time to time *entertain* notions similar to the ones you've written about, and admit the possibility of some, but I don't believe any of it with anything like the confidence with which I believe that water will freeze at -10°C. I suspect the same is true for you too. Or is it really the case that in the few years since you've read those stories you have really thought things through to the point where you believe it? -Pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
