    Thank you.

    This is actually something I've spent a fair amount of time examining because it affects how people determine and understand truth, and subsequently how they establish their values.


    So far as the side-rant...

    I hate the improper use of "it's" and "its". It's is a contraction of "it is", while "its" is a term expressing possession. IE: It's his razor. Its scales are red.

    Affect vs. effect is another issue, but I only run across it in written communication.

    I also hate the lack of proper sentence and paragraph structure. I grade a lot of papers where students never press the return button the whole time they're typing. It's impossible to catch on when they've changed topics.

    Okay, now I've added to both rants.

    Big Jim, should we ever meet, I want to buy you a good cup of coffee and chat.

    I knew you had taste from your avatar, know I learn you're accustomed to what I call "big picture thinkin'"! lol

    I think the topic of our conversation should be titled: "Truth, and Two Hundred Years."

    Of course, all are welcomed.


    Cheers, and Good Night.
