Thank you for your kind words, JockoManning and stating some important truths.
We DO need to be mindful of integrity.... but the rules of brainstorming are that there needs to be freedom to express even outrageous or wrong thoughts.... because from them can actually appear germs of inspiration in someone else.
I endorse and approve of the removal of my initial post. It could certainly have had unintentional consequences if left up.
JimRob has provided us a Free forum and has called it Free Republic for a reason. Freedom is challenge. Freedom is a responsibility. Freedom also requires vigilance and integrity.
We are all seeking balance in our interactions here in our free discourse. Expression and exuberance of discovery against the strait jacket of over concern.
Balance is difficult to achieve. Sometimes we fail. We seek it and are most happy when we achieve it, but it is fluid, and requires skill to keep. I have been most impressed at the diligence and skill of all gathered here who demonstrate the full range of that balance.
Peace
Well put. agreed. Thanks.
