Come on, nevada sue - Calpernia's holding up her end!

If I were you, I'd go after the apparent implicit acceptance of the Freudian personality structure in Cal's thesis.

As an opening foray, so to speak.

If I were you, I'd go after the apparent implicit acceptance of the Freudian personality structure in Cal's thesis.

Ooo! You're still looking for blood and broken teeth on the floor, aren't you? Your ego's not keeping your id sufficiently tamped down. Your superego must be distracted.

Calpernia, I would think that your definition of the ego as moral living is something quite different than Dr. Freud's original definition of the ego.

And if you define the ego as something that adapts into (how very evolutionary!) a 'superego'; a development described in the Old Testament where people 'lived in sin' and became progressively more moral over time, why then your original assertion that: Relgions create a super ego must be an assertion of a positive nature.

Unless remaining in sin is preferable. Then your assertion would not be positive.
