  BEWARE!

  only rational thoughts are accessible to rational arguments.

  once the category of "god" is established in your mind (usually at an early, impressionable age) you can't ever close the file.. it is unassailable.. why?because it becomes rooted before you develop rational thinking skills.. categories of ghosts, devils, superstitions hold true as well.. what you can do (since they cannot be removed) is modify your emotional reactions connected to these concepts.. what are emotions?

  they are signals (like beacons) informing you of the importance of your values.. the most deeply-rooted values signal the strongest emotional responses.. what you perceive to be a threat signals fear.

  She knows that I will hunt her down if she did. This is the problem. You assume people are normal.

  Hunt her down? If she knows you feel this way, then likely it isn't her. Sometimes churches do a mass mailing to the entire neighborhood. That happens here from time to time.

  A commentator yesterday said that Sweden has a 75% tax rate. (I'm sure we'll get there some day...)

  I have a thread about Sweden and their elder care. I have made friends with board member who lives there. He says the tax rate is less than half of what the commentator claims. Look it up in my Topics started history. They also get a lot more for the taxes they pay.

  Edited to add: okay, he said 30-40% in Sweden. Here's a link for the discusion: What do you think of Sweden's care for the elderly? 2 3
