**** I don't even pity MMY. When I try to figure out my feelings towards him, the result is blank. But intellectually I like to analyse his behaviour and I can see him to fulfil an important function as a conman gone crazy. He has deserved that important role. It is vital to understand that even `enlightened' people can behave like that. Especially those we can see as enlightened often do. When they are driven to expose the other side of themselves , there is nothing to pity about. I have seen this happen elsewhere too and it makes me feel that there is deep justice in Nature's functioning that helps us or forces us to evolve. We freemasons consider it to be the worst kind of humiliation to be rejected as a morally and ethically untrustworthy person. Irmeli ------------------------ Yahoo!
