     I found the "shadows on the cave wall" bit a good teaser.
     I think perhaps you are too smart to appreciate what some
     lesser folk are still learning. Therefore you must be a
     teacher?
 
 
 WE> What else can you say about it?
 
  We say into the face of what we search to understand (even among
  our sometimes silly sounding words). I know in my heart of hearts that
  I won't be the one to bring "consciousness" into any semblance of
  comprehension ....yet as a hedonist, my pleasure hungry soul would enjoy
  both the pleasures and excitement of the search ....and perhaps even any
  accident of finding something new. As liberal genes & experience
  predispose me to be an inept science-friendly, capitalist-Democrat, it
  becomes evereven more a challenge to peek at the world I'm passing
  through ....and then to ................poof-be-gone.............!
