Nah, it's more like martial arts technique. :) See what needs doing, see from all angles simultaneously, then go knock heads together as needed. I've gone through the stages of: 1. being an asshole who attacks the wrong people, 2. being too self-critical and guilt-ridden to take any actions at all, 3. accumulating some evidence that my currently planned actions would have been the right thing to do, 4. actually finding that I can take action and do some good without messing things up. > So in fact there's nothing to do; no action that can be taken.

And so we all have to clean out our psychological crap that distorts our view of the world, THEN do whatever needs doing. Analogy: a corrupt cop will probably jail innocent people while for some reason ignoring fellow criminals. But a cop with some integrity will have very little trouble leaping to the right conclusion and leaping into action. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
