    Hi Wade,

    I am just interested, you do see freedom from bias as necessary to ' free-
    dom ' as such !?
    That is, to be really free as an individual !?
    How can that be, if you were genetically and memetically ' biased ' as a
    person !?
    Or does your beliefsystem don 't go that far !?
    It would be interesting to know how your then solipsistic brain cope with
    such a bias !?

    Regards,

    Kenneth
