(Must have missed something here.) Yes, missed the unrecorded history of mankind Given the conditioning and the pressures of survival that fix our attention to specific areas of daily living: how can we possibly have a full understanding of human nature? <Humor on> The dog said: "don't ask humans - they are biased. Ask my alien friends from the Dog Star" <Humor off> PLEASE...serious answers are sorely needed. <s> Yes, more answers to generate more questions...
