I suppose we need short memories, since we tend to mess up so much of what we touch.<BR/><BR/>Ken,<BR/><BR/>If I'd known about being "ferociously didactic", I would have certainly aspired to that state. From what I've read, Buddhism has a lot to say on the fact that we are our own worst enemies. I can find any evidence that we aren't. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for coming by. Glad you liked my latest diatribe.Patrick M.

I'm honored.<BR/><BR/>Bill,<BR/><BR/>I think that, in some way, the "armor" we put on our bodies seems more profound than the act of being behind glass and steel. There's more personal transformation. The protection element is almost secondary to the idea that we become something "other" when we don certian sorts of armor. We hide from ourselves and the world, perhaps.<BR/><BR/>Doc,<BR/><BR/>I like to talk about the elephant in the living room. Yep. Thanks for coming overPatrick M.
