  I do NOT see "myth" as a lie, but as a word of *REACH*  that is
  often lost in among the words it travels with. It is a word grown
  to serious measure in your intellectual heart of hearts- and
  therefore!!! when I read your using it, I take it to mean a
  "bit more" and perhaps read into it what your many hundred postings
  have carved it to mean. Time and familiarity can add shades of
  meaning to a term unique to its author.
     What do I mean when I use the word myth?  It is still growing as
  is my own word, magic .....also an extension of meaning that could
  take time to simmer. I don't have it all together as you. Sometimes
  I hold a fragment of "aboutness" and sometimes it slips away.
  Absolute clarity is not my best marble!
                               For now, .....Distrust is !!!!!!!!!!!!
