I wish I could at this stage pass you over to a guy called Bob Klassen in
California who is highly syntactical- his papers on economic as opposed to
political government are published on http://www.wkpub.com and are highly
recommended. I believe that there is a scale running between lies and
truth and that there is such a thing as absolute unarguable truth. It is
this that we should seek.

I hear you Steve- just as when I say we have changed fundamentally from an
orderly organized world to a diverse global unorganized world- of course
this is just a degree of change on a dynamic spectrum- you are absolutely
correct philosophically but we cannot always express those degrees without
busyness taking over and detracting from the business in hand.
