Larry,
You are way too with it in the morning for me!<g> I can't even get my mind thinking about itself till about my 3rd cup of coffee, let alone thinking in such broad terms!<g>

You are quite right though. It is much easier too make jokes about that which we fear the most. It makes the pain, or lack of understanding, that much more bearable.

Don't you just love journeyman philosophers!!<g>

Best regards,
