Marsha, I agree, The problem I think is calling one true and one false. but that is a failing of the interpretive factor, now a dialog on what makes one or the other better or more valuable would bring us all closer to a richer understanding of both, But as far as I have been able to coax from Bo, this is not his interest, it's the either/or all or nothin kind of endeavor.
Believe me, all I ever wanted was a honost explanation of why it's better. "It just is" , never has worked for me, when I was a kid or now. -Ron ----- Original Message ---- From: MarshaV <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, September 5, 2010 1:41:26 PM Subject: Re: [MD] Able to change well.

Bo should be able to spend the rest of his life on the MD finding the best words to support his point-of-view. A point-of-view that I too came to but from a different direction, and now a point-of-view I share with him. Either/or? Isn't it about getting beyond needing to declare this or that? Showdown is a step backwards.
