Why this apparent downshift? Effective today, I'll be hitting an approximately 2-week-long cycle of 18-20 hour days that will leave me scant time for a triple-S treatment, much less the reflection, thoughtfulness and time required to consider our exchange/respond to you. Would very much like to continue this afterwards if ok with you. Knowing as we do how threads have a shelf-life - perhaps continueing through freepmail might be best. Which do you prefer? So many things left to write about, some just in response to your last. Quicknote: we are juxtaposed on several key issues, certainly... you believe the North started the war; I've never heard the shots fired @ Ft Sumter described like this; or my wanting to explore further the Feudalism-simile (yes, I have read the revolt against folks; just that I'm not convinced theirs is the final word on this, nor can their interpretation be read to mean that similarities I've described cannot then be labelled as such because they do not permit it...)... so many other things to discuss; but I cannot do them nor offer respectful replies to you at this time.
So, here's to hoping we can continue this 2 weeks hence - and not to worry, I've cut'n'pasted all our exchanges. Rather lengthy collection it is, but I won't suffer memory loss on our various ideas we discuss; in my saved document, your comments are in Gray.
What say you?
Fine, just post to this thread again--or start a new one--when you're ready.
