You've switched cerebral hemispheres again, Wade. (Or should that be
"personalities"?) In a message sent just yesterday you indicated
you understood what I meant by the conscious universe. Of course,
maybe the temptation to make a cheap jibe was just too strong, so your
understanding was forgotten. But how rational is that?
Is skepticism just a gutter for those who don't have what it takes to
maintain a balanced, upright attitude (for more than a day, anyway)?
While relaxing in your gutter, do you insist that all those who don't
share it, must necessarily inhabit the fundamentalist one, on the other
side of the road? Are these questions rhetorical?
