Originally posted by Yorick: Cloudy, you have soul and you have a soul. Why is it that when person a) has something that gives them joy, peace and happiness, persons b) and c) have to come along and attempt to tear that down. Do we like making people miserable here? I thought friends built each other up, even if they disagree. ................. When I see Cloudy, I see a woman with soul, a woman with a soul. If anyone else cannot see it, it is their loss. Declaring the contrary actually risks highlighting ones limits in perception. (ouch! )

Thank you Yorick. I didn't quote your whole piece, but rest assured, I read it and re-read it a few times. I can't even begin to thank you for your clarity of thought and evenhanded way of presenting critical concepts and ideas. It is a balm for that soul I have, to read your posts.


This is a difficult topic and the whole idea of funding or not funding the research and exactly what road that research will follow is one I suspect we will all see again in our papers and newscasts. Thanks to all of you who added your thoughts and feelings to a 'lively' discussion. Conan, it was a very worthwhile thread you started here.
