<<So this is abstract? Compared to what?>> In rely, Joan offers- <I think, Aaron, that to someone who thinks in binary terms (black and white), all the the greys and colors in-between are abstract (to them). It's simply a color-blindness of a sort. Sometimes it's simply a matter of being young... perhaps not just in age. It may be the emotional immaturity that seems to characterize much of our culture that conditions people to be impatient. It takes a lot of patience to learn to see all the 'colors'. (And there are some colors that our physical eyes cannot apprehend, but our minds do, and thus we have dreams in colors we cannot describe upon waking.) But before we can learn to see, we need to learn how to look.> Joan, I have a family member who attacks my politics in the same manner, though a much ruder style yet. I, in his view, am Mr. Black and White, All or Nothing. I just don't get how much difference there is between Al and George W. like he does. And worse yet, I just don't understand how Clinton has done so much progress. To him, this is seeing the world in color, being mature as opposed to immature. You add yet another version, by referring to non-reformism as being 'binary' and 'impatient'. I always tell him that I feel so sad for him, as he ours over Bush and Gore with a microscope, looking for differences. Oh yes, he knows how to look and imagine! How sad and delusionary is the world of the reformist, liberal. Your mystical, and yet rude, out-lining of the mind set, does nothing to give it a colorful glow, or change this world view that leads to constant defeat.
