History is full of stories about the little guy actually making a difference. Of course, if you have yourself convinced that you can't win and don't even try, then the naysayers have already won without having to lift a finger to justify themselves

You are right, of course. It is just such an uphill fight, against redicule and scorn, that it scarcely seems worth the fight. But that is how the world progresses and I have nothing but admiration for those people. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Right-O!

I have a ~~9000 year old 'fleshing Stone' found right in my yard here in upstate NY.
I rarely even show it because it "doesn't exist" in the eyes of "conventional wisdom", isn't made of the "correct material" (it's a grade 9 limestone piece - and sharp as hell, with finely honed and dead straight edges), and is from "the edge of the glacier" where no man could or would have lived "when it was made".
Go Figure.
