Dear Jack,
You might reflect that deep down you're being quite shallow. The attitude that FreeR is the default meeting ground of "thinking people" reveals that you need to think more deeply about what thinking actually is. Is it kneejerk agreement with some unwritten but 'widely understood' set of attitudes about what is kosher to think and say here? I don't think so but your milage obviously varies.

I would adjur you not to attribute every little thing that doesn't map to your inner self as something out of the DU. You'll miss the opportunity to expand and will find you shrink instead.

I don't think you want to parallel the goose stepping of DU with lock stepping at FR. Do you?

I don't know why people are getting katty here. I enjoyed your peace and laughed out loud a few times. I didn'rt agree with everything but I enjoyed it. God bless.

I am not an advocate of orthodoxy. But I'm afraid your jeremiad is little more than externalized venting. It is pretentious, simplistic, and vapid; not the deep thinking you'd like to believe it is.

By all means keep trying.

But spend some time with a good dictionary and spellcheck, okay?

Nice. Thanks.

And Happy New Year.
