Andrew--you're just too eloquent sometimes! I felt exactly the same
way--but, deep inside, my little boy just really, really, wanted to know
if someone had an answer to the question. And I just read an excellent
response, reductionist though it was! So, there's my dilemma. It's tough
being holistic in a reductionist world, and thank you for realigning my
vision!
