While I understand the KC strip example, I'm more on the side of the guy (Konfuzius - SP?) who said: Do something you like to do for a living, and you will not work a single day in your life. Would writing as an end imply the end of writing as a means? Would both be possible? Ever tried selling some of your writing just to see what would happen? "no one in my life who was ever in a position to cultivate or propegate talent has ever felt that I had enough of same to be worth such attention. " - 3 questions. 1. How about yourself? 2. Could all those folks be wrong,blind or too preoccupied with their own issues, or maybe exhausted from discussing stuff with a guy who has way with words? Nefariouoly(new one for me) yours certain uncle (neither in collusion nor contact with parental units) So it’s not writing as an end in itself…

So, how was it when you were "inexplicably sought out by my parentage today"? Being a parentage myself I typically bring piled up mail,advice, curiosity, and an invitation to whatever meal is next. Got to run - have a good weekend You sure have a way with words -

While I agree that having certain behaviors imposed on a person because of a certain dogma is inherently wrong, that does not mean someone should indulge in every behavior just because they feel like it. In a healthy monogamist relationship, the partners may just be trying to show respect both for the other person, and for the relationship they have established. To build something worthwhile, you always have to "sacrifice" something, be it time, money, energy, or sex with other people. However if you really care about what you are building, those sacrifices don't seem too unreasonable, because to you they are worth it. Now writing that, I would agree that many people today feel they must commit to monogamy simply because someone else tells them they should, and that is not healthy. Yet many of these people also don't feel that they should have to work at their relationship at all, and that is not healthy either. But monogamy, in the general sense, does not in a basic sense have to be the result of Christian or any other belief system.

While I have never been married, I can assure you that long term relationships in no way assure continued sexual access to any individual except one's self. I don't care what anyone says, the root of all love in the context of any relationship is inherently selfish. Ah…if only it were true.

It's current influence is not infectious enough to grab the older larger populations and not cheap enough to grab the large impoverished populations. I do agree that the readily available pool of information with an ease of communication will continue to foster cooperative creativity to the betterment of humans. Whether it be software or social or whatever. Now, back to the begining of this post. I'm going to WAY geek out here and point to that this is all very Rodenberry. Humans evolve to the point where creating (and exploration I guess) become the only endeavor of humans. What we are missing is a nearly limitless free energy source. Get me that and I will have your babies. I’m hoping that other things happen to sort of push this shift along.
