I think these ideas are probably true in every era and culture, blackswan, being based on universal truths about human nature. Applying them mechanically I am sure you will agree is a terrific idea. Don't you?

Thanks for the post blackswan. Each of your posts is better than the last. Even the ones I didn't understand why you posted, blackswan, not being of such a high caliber as yourself. I have modded you up blackswan. Keep up the fine work, blackswan.

Now I must be off to my Toastmasters meeting.
