Borg, I hope you are not referring to me, because I have no distaste for your objective. If anything, we are on the same page. The root of the
conspiracy is our unwillingness to understand that we all breathe the same air, drink the same water, live, dream, and share the same fate. Blood
courses through all our veins and arteries, we all feel pain when we are hurt, and we all feel joy when we are happy. There are no big orange borders
between states, nations, and peoples. In a truth, to be human is a universal value.
Often we see that which divides us as evil, and more often still over corrective measures are taken resulting in more damage than the ill. Moderation
becomes extremism, devotion becomes fanaticism. So the good plants that took so much labor of love to cultivate are pulled up by the roots along with
the weeds, and still others are mistaken for weeds. Books burn in bonfires, people burn at stakes. Minds become bent and whole congregations disappar
overnight from drinking poison. That is my point about using so many other sources out of proper context to boost an argument.
Now at heart I am a secular humanist, but I also have gnosis and practice Buddhism. It has taken me many years to find my equiliburium, but I got
there by taking in the richness other religions have to offer. In 7As case I would be willing to actually purchase this set of
tapes for him provided we meet again and discuss each of the 25 programs in
depth. In fact I would do that for anybody, and I certainly am no Catholic. I say this because it is a fine illustration of your objective.
