Greetings Fra.: Apfelman,
Much as i enjoyed your posting of Pete Carroll`s work in the
metaphysical echo, i was a little put out that you didn`t give
him any writing credit; as i know what it`s like to be a struggling
artist/author, only to get your ideas ripped off by someone else.
i`ve been fortunate to come across his books before, but i suspect
some will not have, and will take your postings as your own work,
ideas and inspirations.
Can we hear YOUR thoughts on Chaos, or at least what pete`s work
has meant to you, rather than just regurgitating it ?
(i`d be interested...)
Cheers,
BlackDog

 This is true. Closed mindedness breeds hate, hence hate crimes and the like. 
My mother thinks homosexual people have all these grossly deviant sexual 
practices involving bottles, etc. etc. She believes they are capable of 
forcing themselves to either somehow become straight or stop living in sin, 
and fight themselves for the rest of their lives. She's a 40 year old woman. 
I would think she would be receptive to reason when it comes to issues like 
this. But this is only one of her conservative, fundamentalist, right-wing, 
republican, narrow minded, and downright unreasonable outlooks.
