Mike...

Like what you wrote.

Don't be afraid to voice your feelings especially if you feel stongly about the issue, or the person. The KEY, is HOW you voice your opinion. Some do it politely and in a civil-like manner; others are about as subtle as a sledgehammer!
But debate IS essential. The sharing of ideas be they good or bad, is necessary because I think that's how we grow;THAT last bit depends on whether or not we WANT to grow.

I'm 41, and in the words of some old Greek philosopher (paraphrasing):
"The one thing I DO know, is that I know nothing". (Socrates,I think)

School never ends. Kinda nice too, since everyday I see to learn something new. I guess that's growth.

And if you think all this is garbage, dont be afraid to tell me so! HA!HA!
Just promise me you'll be gentle! HE!HE!

Cheers,
Larry
