I've been away from all this discussion for a few days and reading all the latest my head is spinning. I thought someone wanted me to apologize because of people here who are of that ideology, and certainly did not think of you at all in my post. I think we all need a pitcher of martinis and a nice little beach somewhere at this point LOL > i thought i should clarify that i don't > consider myself a marxist by any stretch of the imagination...i resonate > with lots of different ideas that fall under christianity, buddhism, native > american thought, democracy, socialism, activism, pacifism etc etc but don't > feel like any single one of these religions, philosophys, governments, > (whatever) completely encompass all of my beliefs... I feel that my beliefs have also evolved from all of these and other ideas. I can't help but believe that most thinking persons take it all in and process it accordingly. Enlightenment is not found by sitting in one box and pulling the lid closed over the top ;-) Kakki
