----- Original Message ---- From: Mike Carrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Humans inherit in their biology a necessary system to defend "self" from "other"; it is our immune system, defending against disease. Language labels things and people and blends "you" with "those people". People come to react to words and labels as if they were individuals and things. Thus politicians and marketers communicate and manipulate. We all have our "push buttons". This all feeds back on itself, the recipe for the deterministic chaos of human activity. Perhaps the only remedy for this is to break the feedback loop that generates the chaos. It is really simple: "Do unto others as you would be done to" -- the Golden Rule. Mike Carrell
