Steve, I knew that was how I did things when I was younger and wanted a red Corvette. I rationalized that it would keep its value and would be safer to drive because people could more easily see the red color.
That also applies to driving drunk. When you're drunk you should drive as fast as you can so you reduce the time you're on the road. And besides, if I stated that in a previous post and then looked it up on the internet, that would be just like the process both you and I have described. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "SteveW" <eugnostos2000@...> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "Bill!" <BillSmart@> wrote: > > > > The crux of this argument is not WHETHER you judge things to be good or > > bad, but HOW you judge things to be good or bad.
