"...and I am sure we all empathize..."
Your very optimistic anthropology surprises me. Perhaps, I need to pick
up Erik Fromm or you need to pick up Thomas Hobbes---or perhaps both choices are good. I would hope that you are simply referring to the few who
have shown empathy on this thread.
Ps thanks, daryl, for the kind words.
Let me also add that I am pleased that Tom is staying.
all the best, ole buddy
