Lines: 20 <> Just read a comment on my comment about this whole discussion being depressing. The comment is well taken - we shouldn't hide our heads in the sand (so to speak) since the whole world situation will not go away by ignoring it. (Although that concept offers some interesting possibilities... :-)). I never intended to suggest we STOP the discussion, nor did I comment on the relevance of the discussion. I offered a simple observation: this discussion *IS* depressing. The fact that world events make it necessary makes it no less depressing. I also offer no solution to this dilemma. BTW, I'd rather watch/partake in this discussion, which is handled by educated, erudite people, than the same version at the local bar, which is often (please - no flames on this) spoken from a position of ignorance and ingrained prejudice . --------- George Verbosh ...{pesnta, vax135}!petsd!petfe!gmv
