:-]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And I going to go right on being 'woed' until
folks're 'desensitized' to all that's inherent in correcting old-long-since
Errors, and getting on with what needs to be done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>So much wasted 'time' for no reason other than
that folks're 'afraid' of being 'embarassed'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>So the garbage heap remains.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>But, here I am - shovel in hand, determined to
just remove it all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>It just 'hurts' some - like, Dag's post - what
was that, Dag, the day before the Nobel nominations closed this year? One final
'test'?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>I Failed... again :-]</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>I doubt I'll be able to hold on beyond another 6
weeks, anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Intend to do some stuff between now and then,
though.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>My jaw is just hanging down that folks're
willing to go to war to slaughter their fellow Humans, but will not just
communicate NDT's understanding... and, now, TH'll meet the same at the hands of
the 'club'(?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>It's all so 'raunchy' from where I look on... I
can see no one, in all of 'professional science' who isn't totally
compromised.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And what's 'hilarious' is that everyone else
pretty much follows the lead of 'professional science' - the 'blind' leading the
'blind'... "C;mon folks, let's see how well our weapons have improved in
the last 11 years."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And they're going at slaughtering our fellow
Human Beings as if it's all come circus side-show.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And then they 'wonder' why folks elsewhere do
the same-stuff, in their own way?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>They 'wonder' whece come the lessons of
slaughtering fellow Humans?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And Neuroscience just looks on... hands folkded
in it's lap like a good lackey who knows whence comes its funding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Who cares about the slaughter? We need our grant
money.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>It's 'hilarious'... on =this= basis Humanity is
supposed to find its way into its Future?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
