Who defines that quality, society or me? It seems to me that society (whatever that is) wants me to fit into their (whoever they are) mold. John, Why do you continue to live in society if it binds you down so? You are one of the top contributors to this forum, yet you tend to disagree with most of us. If I felt so strong about things as you do, I would pack a few essentials into my kayak and slip off from everyone, including family and go live on my own in that great private place you tease us with. If you go, take a Bible along to read and maybe someday you will understand that man is not an island unto himself. Believe it or not, humankind needs each other. Way down deep you are reaching out to others whether or not you know it. Others and myself will pray for you whether you like it or not, and be concerned for your life. Amen. I say all this with a Cristian heart, no hate, just love, Ronnie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
