I'm not sure if what you are saying is penetrating mate. The thing is and Sassa put it well, that you need to explain what it is you are trying to expose. You know what I mean? We all understand your words, but your meaning is questionable. Not from an ethical point of view, but a understanding point of view. I think we all understand that you can be an 'asshole' as you mentioned, and that you are proud of your ability to rationalize your ideas on love, organized religion and even the body politic, but what you have not explained is why you are trying to say what you are saying. Believe me, I do nto know anyone on this board very well, but they all mostly read what I have to say, even if it is bullocks! You see, everyone here tells there opinion by story/example, concept or sometimes prejudice. But mostly they are trying to get a point across;which I would have to say, being a well-educated spinster with multiple degrees in varied studies, I can't for the life of me figure out what it is you are trying to say. Put it simply and with not-so-many words this time and take a breath while writing, it will help. "All the best ideas are spoken in one sentence." - Yeats
