If so, that's naivete beyond belief.

A childish hope that AUTHORITY is GOOD, AND WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

One would have had to have an extremely rigid childhood to believe that.

And, I don't believe you do.

        Agree absolutely. But this also gives us a huge non-altruistic motive to stay. - alcaray - 10/1/2004 6:53:22 PM
