"My valable time" is clearly YOUR impression, not a unversal fact of truth. :) > > The enlightenment process IS subjective, and > it will always be.

My point has been simply, that when someone makes an assertion of fact "the sky is red" they should provide some substance to back it up if asked. If on the other hand they say "My opinion is the sky is red, but hey ... I could be wrong" - no substantiation needed. If someone says "My impression is that the sky is red" - we sign him to a five year movie, record and art gallery deal. And if the person says "You a hostile asshole for asking me for substantiation, end of Discussion! Period!", we know Dr. Pete must have arrived. :) ------------------------ Yahoo!
