No such action was intended. I was simply commenting on what you term the "greater good" and the fallacy thereof. This "greater good" you speak of is the justification that the power grabbers in this country use to increase the scope and realm of governmental control. "For the greater good" is what FDR used to turn the Interstate Commerce Clause on its head and pursue his socialistic ideas through the New Deal. The 'greater good' that I speak of has to do with sacrifices of yourself for others you love. It is not about "I" - it is about being selfLESS for your family and friends. How often do you sacrifice something for your child? For your family or friends? Does it not return to you when you give to others? That is the greater good I speak of! You can have your Ann Raynd philosophy and use it towards the ways of the world - but with families I don't believe it is 100% true.

And that, I think, is precisely why no-one bothers to utter the word anymore. They're afraid of the answers and instead focus on action-reaction. Why is the dirty little word that no-one should ever mention. Why do we execute juveniles? Why do we refuse to recognize that the planet is going to shit? Why do we bomb other countries? Why do we have 16 year old girls getting stomach-reduction surgery? Why? Why? Why? i sugest thease questuions Why am I here? Why do I exist? What is my purpose? you can not fit your purpose into the greater purpose of being until you figure it out as soon as you believe that a writer or scientist can answer thease for you, you have already given up Good point! There is alot more to life than what someone else can tell you or you can read in a book. It's not always about us. There is a greater good to consider! Why were we put on earth? What do we have to do? What is our purpose? "Greater Good" Good lord, Liberals have melted your mind. There is an "I", and it is the most important thing you can consider because it is the one thing you can control. Discover the "I". Do you really feel it is necessary to hurt my feelings and diss on me? Maybe you need to think less about the "I" and more about the __________ - you guess.

Good Morning Rumr~ I will be there tonight unless I get called into the hospital. Ideas about drinking after bouldering?

DOn't know. Suppose we should pick a spot so we can meet ya later. Ideas anyone? Bueller...

Yeah I said the same damn thing this morning! Here I am!

Prolly just wanted to show you something bigger... I have found that the eyes will get you more and a smile will get you everywhere with a bartender. Drinks on the house

Brother you teachin' me to lead? I bring the beer or we can hit my house after for a 'little cup o' tea'.

Fence you are a brat as well! So don't be a dog - next Monday at Index! Be there or be square! I am such a dork - haven't said that since high school

Cute Thanks for the explanation.

the only thing constant is change Lets go deeper! If change is constant - what is stable? What is concrete? That is my whole point...nothing is stable really... You ever delve into some physics? Check out the heisenberg uncertainty principle or perhaps some quantum mechanics and then reconcile it w/ what you are saying... What is concrete? That's easy...a little H20, some aggregate (both fine, medium, and coarse), a little portland cement and some time... Rumr~ You are a brat! I should know what concrete is - my husband has been working in the field for 5 years. Things in this world are not stable. But so many can't take change or too many force change. What does this teach our children? I believe anything in moderation is good. Change is a great thing. But too much can be dangerous

the only thing constant is change Lets go deeper! If change is constant - what is stable? What is concrete? do you know how to make God laugh? Not exactly sure how to take your question. Do you know how to make God cry?

absolfuckinglutelynothing! Fence you maybe young, but you are damn funny.

Nope it won't change! Mine in eternal. Whatcha wanna bet? I need a rope!

Hey ~ Wasn't this about lies? What was the last lie you told? Mine was yesturday. I told my 4 year old that we didn't have any cookies in the house. I ate them when she went to bed.

I have the answer to my question! But it is fun to spray and see who can think beyond the realm.

You say that because you are a parent. Right? The "I" is missing when a 'sprout' is around. It is ALL about them!

Why not challenge yourself? Why not ask the harder questions? Try asking yourself "what is my purpose in life"? That is a hard one that even many philosophers, scientists, & writers are unable to answer.

I don't necessarily enjoy the mall! But I am challenged vertically and HAVE to try my clothes on before buying them. Small waist & big flippin' hips - things don't fit right when I order them on-line. So a trip to the 'terror of bored children' is where must enter to help the clothing arena. Scrubs are great for work - but don't fly well in public. You know?

Sounds like the life ! Sportscars, tight clothes, abuse, drugs.... want more in mine! Maybe more fast cars, slow men, and ropeguns to assist in my climbing addiction!

Thanks for clueing me in on the game!

Yes it sure can. Life comes with many ups and downs, ins and outs, laughter and tears, clarity and confusion, and most of all : love and hate. Life can be funny that way. Let's not get all fucking Hallmark on me, here. You should know me by now! I am not allowed to shop at Hallmark! My husband banned it along with AT&T!

Hey Gaper ~ you saying hi to my attitude? Hey there yourself - if so. If not - well I am egocentric.

I believe "Clueless" might give a better representation of the mall with school out.
