Replying to LO4406 --

To the quote below, I will mention another that seems appropriate for our
discussion on many issues on this list:

The truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believ'd.
--Robert Blake

In pondering this, consider the relationship between understanding and
belief--and how that affects action (and thus, why it's so darn important
to have a good understanding of ourselves and our relationships to the
world).

With warm wishes for the holiday,
