I 
can assure you that I don't look to Lennon for any contributions of value 
to a philosophical discussion any more than I seek insights from Snoop 
Doggy Dog.

Nice try at a diversion. I ask a question and you talk about not knowing 
what is to have an open mind after saying in a previous post that I have
