Uncle Jesse, et al

I think you need to reread my article, especially the last paragraph. And Krauseb, I'm not trying to 'pat myself on the back' and I do beleive that it is a valid question.

"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves.
While Socartes' view may have been extreme, I do believe that examing what we do and why we do it is a valid and important question.
