What if my name was Marquis de Sade, or Nuclear Waste; Cow or ComputerGeek? Does it really matter? A name is superficial, it has nothing to do with anything. My name could be Ak47 for 1000 different reasons that you'd never guess, good or bad. Personally, i don't think open stereotype is a very good method for promoting a positive social change. However, i do think that the absolutionism that is created in some people by symbolic interactionism is ridiculous. Props for pointing that out to me.

Just me pushing buttons I see in people that are gigantic and say PUSH ME but they themselves don't even know exist. It is the quickest way to cut to the core of someone's personality. It's what I do.

My questions have been answered. Thank you.

Otherwise, good points. I like your approach to the Ghandi quote with the mix of influence [convincing]; very unique.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked...

While it may not affect that many people now, I think reducing oil consumption is the thing that would affect the most people overall. For one thing, the potential for climate change seems like a serious problem... and for another, we're wasting a valuable and (effectively) non-renewable resource on... what? Shuttling people back and forth, manufacturing crap nobody really needs, shuttling the crap around...

It's not sustainable. Fortunately, it isn't necessary, either. And like it or not, we are going to learn to live without cheap oil... but the transition will be smoother if we start sooner rather than later.

Marketing + doctorpaul.net.

Also, do your homework as to what the root causes of the problems that the US has, while dedicating yourself to studying REAL SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN PSYCHOLOGY.

Then, and only then, you will know what to do.....
