I do need to take the 'free' class that my internet provider offers.

Don't know how to delete your text other than hold down the delete key and that seems cumbersom.

I read both of your 209.etc's and was very interested in the information in your own SDS file. I will read again, probably several times because just reading it the first time I took some notes. I feel free to comment to you because you know me and my capabilities of levels of thinking fall short at times. (as you know I cannot play chess because I cannot foresee several moves ahead - cause and effect - perhaps 1 or 2) So, I have a defect but have known it for some time. Perhaps it is laziness on my part - lack of discipline - could be that I really do have some brain defects - who knows and who am I compared to??? Blah, blah, blah.

Anyway, some thoughts of yours about shared meaning - conformity - how can human nature be trained to accept 'forced change' - by making us thinking it is not forced. It all gets tooooooooo deep. You have awakened a part of my mind and I believe I might have more to say later.

Everything you state makes sense, however ideas are premised on the fact that they are truth at the time they are spoken - time changes truth. (i.e. during the 60's and 70's the feminism ideology became fashionable - at the age of 40 something I think I finally understood it and now it all seems to have changed)

This is a very small analogy - what am I trying to say??

Truth changes with time.

Science fiction becomes science fact.

I'll re-read your letters and think very hard about them and respond when I find the right words.

Love you Rod,

Sincerely,

PS I'll send Judy an e-mail. I haven't heard from her about the luncheon yet. Talked to mother today and she was happy. She received a beautiful notecard created by Ritz - it pleased her so much that it made her cry.
