I agree with you and Marc. I can't wait until the smoke clears for me personally - which unfortunatly will not clear until I focus on the "indvidualistic" goals to get to my primary causes in the future.

Wow! I strongly relate to those character flaws in a big way. I also see how much of what we aim for to be a complete waste of time. Each time I allow myself to be naively idealistic, I see the flaws in that. And yet, to be prepared to ride that edge without backing off and letting yourself look totally ridiculous as you dream of a "better world", that there is courage. It is something I fight for every day, and it's the one thing that beats me every time. It will always win, because people like us can't stop looking silly...I mean, dreaming of a better world ;) So in an ordinary world, we will let ourselves look ridiculous and be so determined for "the truth" that we'll take a stand for something that seems outlandish or heretical. At best, we can have a good laugh at how naive and idealistic we were 'way back when'. It's great to meet another traveller on the path to insanity. Keep on ridin' by the seat of your pants, bro! Marc :) Marshall, really love this! Wow!
