Hi Seattle... I believe you've got a point there. If one goes back far enough in cultural anthropology studies of the ancient humans, one finds that superstition, mythology, religious practices, and medicine seem to all blur into each other as far as their origins. Like Huston Smith, I tend...

Here's a good question to ask. Why do so many good, big picture thinkers in science die young ? I've got an idea and it has nothing to do with Billy Joel's song...what's yours? flow....:rolleyes: Biologist found source of deadly hantavirus - Los Angeles Times

Here's something that we all should ponder at this time of year. What would humans become if they were the ones who play G-d with life forms, and do so with intentionality ? flow....:) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/16/AR2007121601900.html?hpid=topnews

This article is kind of off topic as it doesn't pertain specifically to Santa Claus, but it does address some of the reasons why the Roman Church picked December 25 to celebrate Jesus' birth. Happy Christmas All ! flow....:)...

Yeah...Hef wears silk jammies because they generate so much static electricity. Adds to the excitement he sez. flow....:p

Randy: Deb was such a unique and beautiful human being. One of the most remarkable presences I have ever known. Those of us who were privileged to know her for even a short time were automatically changed for the better in hidden ways. I am happy that you're celebrating her spiritual...

Goo ! Goo ! *sucks gnarled old thumb* *eyes episodically roll back in head during feigned ecstacies* *silver drool cup catches escaping droplets of spittle preventing staining of red velvet vest* :p

Pee-Wee ? Is that you ? :p

Okay fish bro..."declarative". I never use spellcheck instead relying on my OF memory banks. I did consider the right spelling before using the wrong, but then that's what OF memory reliance is all about, eh ? flow....:p

Hi Chris: My opinion is that you have a real talent for writing clearly on very complex subject matter. I never have a problem understanding what you're after, even when your doing your physics thingys. The above post to Juan is a good example of expressing complex thoughts with a minimum of...

Hi Wil. My Mom, who'll be 91 next month, still handwrites letters to friends and family across the nation and to different parts of the world. And her hand and English are still very legible and understandable. She spends more money on stamps than I do on food per month. She just sent off a...
