I think you make a very interesting point here, Lookout. We all look at the world through our own individual filters. I think that's why it's good that people can come together in places such as The Cellar and state our points of view and debate the differences. Believe it or not, some of your posts have allowed me to widen my own field of perception and catch a glimpse of things I had never thought about before. I mean like once or twice maybe, in a funny sort of way. I'm still not going to be your new best friend, but I kind of respect you when you're not calling me names.
