your words are soothing Heathcliffe. you're presence here so reassuring. The impression of everything that happens swinging like a pendulum backwards and forwards has been with me for a long time now...now to the far left...now to the far right...for a brief second everything is centred and then movement again. consciousness is shifting a bit no doubt but if its done crassly then it leaves a residual momentum inverted against itself. a dark side. maybe thats for the good. can you imagine a world where we're always right and no one is wrong. how bloody boring that would be. 

there has to be a basic standard of decency that applies to all people - food, clothing, shelter and family relations. no child should even die of starvation or from violent struggle. if we cant get that right we are really damned. and deservedly so. 

a bottom line of safe survival that applies to all humanity irrespective of individual appearance and unless and until everyone believes that we're going to go round and round with this. getting faster for a while til loads of people fall off the merry go round puking their guts up with too much excitement.
