Oh, sure, no worries, KM. It's just a serious and interesting issue you raised. Take it as a compliment that we took your ball and ran with it. grin

For my part, our nation's general inability/unwillingness to try to see that there's more than one point of view in the world and the general lack of critical thinking skills are two of my greatest personal concerns with the way the world is heading. When these subjects come up, I always feel like an old lady going on and on about "the problems with kids these days," yet I go on and on anyway! They can just keep their balls out of my yard, too, why don't they... wink

So, yeah, no worries. smile

I think you're right, Erica, about the joy of discovery stuff. Right down the line, I think you're right about why people choose that route, right about why it isn't right for us just as it isn't right for you, right, right, right! Good analysis. Thanks for that. smile
