I prefer to keep discussions very simple and *try* to probe deeper.  Is this a 
problem?  Is there no idea in my response worth pursuing?  If not, then maybe 
you have a specific question to ask?   Or is there another statement you made 
that you'd prefer to explore.  I'm interested in what we can know and how can 
we know it.  Without dismissing the idea with some proclamation of 'absolute, 
amoral, cultural relativism,' what does it mean when Nagarjuna states that all 
truth is relative and conventional?   If Buddhism's conventional truth in some 
ways equates to the MoQ's static quality, where is the agreement?  Is there 
disagreement?
