Its even more facsinating that an observer who has been meditating a similar amount of time could see all things in such black and white absolutist terms. A view that Judy is all negative and Curtis is all positive is quite a belly-laugh. While my vision is probably as distorted as any, I find them both generally quite positive and constructuve, both are certainly very bright and good writers -- yet with each having some interesting quirks and anomolies that they are working out and resolving in their own time and own creative and insightful ways.
