 Aristoltelian logic has many advantages -- but, being a mystic (among
 other things) Some firm beliefs may be based on personal experience:
 reality is always in question, your Doubt is right up there, but we are
 forced to trust our own existance as at least partially real.
 No?
 I pause here to see if we can build a mutually acceptable platform.

 :-)

 Whether or not, I look forward to an attempt in that direction, anyway.

 Cordially...

   My grasp was less rational than emotional:
   When a tear appeard in the corner in Pogo's eye, sometime one appeared in
   mine...pretty good for a `comic strip'. Thank goodness Doonsbury is
   still around. :-)

   Speaking of rational/emotional...'tis an interesting phenomenon:
   Intellectual grumpiness :-) Present company excepted, of course.
   (Cynic that I sometimes am, I have to add: so far... :-)

   Regards...
