Re: On the 'Blessedness' of Anger.....
Maybe Bob is saying something about understanding the self, and if he was to add comment to his use of quotes, we might get to know what that 'something' is exactly.

Re: On David Quinns' WOMAN EXPOSITION....
Jason, People can easily be "impressed", as seen by advertising and TV. I reckon all you can do is live as closely as you are able, to the truth, and that's it. You can't press people one way or another. They either get it, or they don't. You can put truth out there, but you have no power ...

Re: On David Quinns' WOMAN EXPOSITION....
Jason,
If a young person is easily impressed by a shaved-face, and say, clean clothes and a smiling face - then he or she isn't worth their salt.

Kunga, you have to be firmer with your mob. Do what I do. Tell them to leave you alone and to be quiet. Tell them that your thinking and questioning life is THE most important thing EVER!
