Oh how you look at everything so pessimistically.
a note about this, if you will. It is the cousin of "twisting," imo. Aegism(?) kind of accused me of this yesterday, when i had no such intention; not saying i never do, but it is easy to read too much into a post that is not meant, i think. This is a poor means of communication for me, especially, as i range all over the place conversationally, voicing examples, etc., and i guess this is a bad idea. I have tried to moderate it here, but i notice most people here have the completely wrong impression about my feelings for America, for example. I make a remark about the .01% that is taken for the whole, etc. Surely my fault, but i ask that you take me more at face value, except when i don't mean it that way, which is frequent

and i will try to do the same for you.
Iow it is easy to read something someone didn't mean, and harder to read what they meant, sometimes. And sometimes we even do it gratuitously, a little on purpose to make our point. So i try not to be offended, and i don't mean to offend. ok, bye.
