	As a member of the "pro-Choice, self-actualized" group I
would INSIST that EVERYONE should have regard for the feelings of
others.  It is none-the-less true that feelings are a personal
entity and you can change your feelings by understanding the
personal processes you have that cause them in the first place.

	The point to this is that, if you want to say something to
someone else, phrase it in a simple, sincere manner giving due
respect to the emotional impact your words are likely to have.

	Thus endeth the preach for today.
