I agree that there may be a synergistic relationship between neurotranmitter
systems. However, there would be no relationship without the neurotransmitter
s; to say that we completely understand the experience called love since
we understand it's neurochemical origins would be stepping out of bounds,
while stating that we understand and can pinpoint the physiological root of
this experience is not. Until "we" can demonstrate that the experience can
occur without such neurotransmitter action, there should be nothing wrong
with stating that nt action is the source of love.--Johnny Russell
