Yea, it has, the rye part is that im saying things are complex your saying
Its black or white So now Im saying we either agree that the world is
complex or there not much i can base a converstaion with you on.

Dude, your just not singing with the vibe. I am saying there is such a
wide freaking range of life and death factors that you vlaue them all for
what they are rather than making Cast in Stone "all is this and thats all
it is" determinisations.

NO, what I can say is I cant make my belife system make sense to you.
Given what you state your belife system to be I think this is probably a
Feature in mine and a BUg in yours.

Make a tshirt, this will sell millions.
Also, it exaplins why you dont want kids, you just dont value them.
Ill lend you mine for a week:)_ That will cause all Black and WHite THis
or Thatness to flee your system.
I think we just have a totaly diffetn view on live, value of humanity, and
living here JB.
