If I want to play on a hunch or intuitive insight I will. My intuition has usually been more right than wrong regardless who crazy the idea is. A lot of people here thought I was wacko about the recent airline bomb plot when I pointed out it was bogus. Later the news showed it was.

If anything its you who are stuck in the black and white world. You're the one who wants to see the world in hard facts. And why is that?

I said "some" people. The vast majority of people on this planet have ego issues. Apparently you must not go out in public and observer people? Worse yet society has been reinforcing ego through their "self-esteem" building programs. It is mainly those on the spiritual path who succeed in diminishing ego and some to the point there is only enough to keep them in their physical body.
