That's exactly how I feel. I still choose to tangle
and make myself part of the dynamic....so can it be all
bad?

Yet, there's a certain dishonesty which you feel you have
to confront......in the hope of making the world an
improved place. Unfortunately...I think I just end
up feeding the fire.

A: So its about children and adults?
B: No
A: So we ARE talking about children and adults though right? [ad nauseum]
B: No

B: [specific answers] (for better or worse)
A: You repeatedly REFUSE to answer my question!

Its odd......and desperate........I'm inclined to think.

Thanks for hearing me out.
