Marsha I totally disagree with this statement, and wonder how you think to generalize with the "We". I simply do not understand how you come to this conclusion. [Krimel] Uncertainty is THE philosophically significant realization of the past century. Information Theory defines "meaning" as reduction in uncertainty. I think it is a good definition and can be applied to almost any use of the term. My understanding of our response to uncertainty is heavily influenced by the religious historian Elaine Pagels. Whenever I say 'we' henceforth read it to mean "anyone with sufficient intelligence in interest to look into it." If you feel excluded, I will understand. But your constant harping on my style is juvenile.
