> ((((z))))thank you alexandra.yes i feel it sometimes. it can be so counterproductive though, when the enthusiasm disappears without the knowledge of the misery that i go through. i am talking about the oppressions, the crimes against reason that get me passionate about science and knowledge in general (a U.S. Federal Court judge, a very conservative Republican, just decided against a school district that taught Intelligent Design, and he used language that would be considered incredibly uncivil on this board, so i will provide no links- it does console me though that i am not the only person who gets upset about what gets taught, what people consider knowledge, etc.: that is the thing besides survival instinct that has kept me going [also note that neither he nor i consider this in any way a struggle of science against and religion- it is about religion posing as science. it is quite dangerous to have things that are not science pose as such. the nazis pretended to have scientific justifications for their genocidal programs. again, not calling backers of ID as it's known here nazis- but we suffer enough in the name of science, nuclear weapons and cell phones everywhere- don;t get these heinous things mixed up with ideology and winding up making a mash of everything we know- there's my enthusiasm, for endless parenthetical rants]).
i am in a hyper-REM state from sleep deprivation and that is contributing. i fell asleep 2 hrs. ago and had very painful hypnagogic hallucinations. i stayed up too late last night.
thanks
