>>if things go they way you fear, you just might get
>>your wish

in your words to krz: slow down, cabellero

your fears : [see your lengthy post]

your wish- in your words::: """I just hope we all go back to the forests and live like monkeys picking lice out of eachothers' hair and howling at jaguars and throwing coconuts. Let's just grow tails and get it over with. :-)""""

so save your sarcasm for another time when it's more warranted. i don't see in my posts where i went playground on you, so please refrain from doing so to me.

:"""""to assign fears as wishes says more about you and your perception of me that it does about me. """"

your conclusion-jumping assumption that i was "assigning fears as wishes" says more about you and what you are saying that i'm saying what i'm saying about you than it does me saying what you are saying i'm saying what you think i'm saying about what you thought i was saying about you

you have descended to your comfort level of pedantry, diatribe and name-calling.

you compare yourself to christ?

you draw parallels between your posts here on the voy with the contributions of those who risked their lives and shed their blood with Martin Luther King?

i sense the glory of martyrdom, an influence of guilt and the lofty goal of intellectual superiority in your interactions here. that's my opinion.

you are embroiled in the classic struggle that fuels all the wars we all regret. you in the struggle for power.

you can have it. as i've said before, i have no use for it.

it's not the darkness or pessimism or lenses that i have contemplated, but your continued inability to get along with people who both share and don't share your views, depending on the circumstance. we've been here before. it's deja vu all over again.

in my view, it's your will to power that so often causes these arguments. i would think with your root philosophy so opposed to conflict that you would recognize this behavior and help to guide us all out of it like MLK and Christ took the risks to do.
