The point of the war analogy was just to get you to admit that there are
differences between men and women.  No big deal to me, I'm not going to use
it to subjugate women.   But it is to you, evidently enough to cause you to
not see what is a clear reality.  Why I haven't a clue.  And no, women do not
as a group have more lower body strength than men either.  Sorry, it's just
the way things are.  (I will admit, incidentally, that women as a group have
many strengths superior to men.  No problem.  Why not?)

I'm glad to hear you were rereading the Constitution.  It is an incredible
document.  It is the contract, the agreement, between the people of the U.S.
and the government yet few people have ever read it.  It is a binding
document that we can hold our leaders to.  You will also note that it
precludes the type of government sponsored social agenda Democrat liberals
constantly try to advance.  I have yet to see a real problem with a strict
constructionist view if liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from
government oppression are important.

I also see it fitting nicely with the themes of "ancient wisdom" and "karma".

On the other hand, it appears you have taken the notion of "oneness" and
imposed it politically, economically and socially such to create no
differences among people
so that everyone receives according to need and each produces according to
ability(sound familiar?).  This just does not work because when you suck
personal initiative out of people(which communism/socialism always eventually
does), society is doomed.  When that happens you will have human suffering
and tragedy on a scale far beyond anything you presently envision, or even
imagine, that results from conservatism.

Sorry if some of my language has been inflammatory or affronting.  As I said,
you pushed some hot buttons.  I feel these are very important issues.

You have always been kind in your communications with me and I thank you for
that.  Hopefully you will find something  in what I wrote as food for thought
in spite of the emotions I have fanned.

I'll let it rest now.  This is probably not the proper forum for this anyway
and I'm likely boring others as well.

best to you, Randy
