Friends,
If you are considering to respond to aspects of this thread, I am asking you to consider the following in any response.
DR. Hsiung has used the analogy of that one match can start a forest fire. You can do a search to see what was the discussion about where he posted that. Dr. Hsiung's latest reply to me says that[...fresh matches pose more of a risk than used ones...]
But when a fire is started, it can spread. The spread of the fire is contingent on several factors. One is how long it takes for the fire to be put out. Another is if the fire is allowed to continue to burn. Another is the winds and the rain and the number of fire-fighters willing to put out the fire. I find no hope at this time, except for the hope of rain, in my quest to have the posts in question notated as being uncivil here.
But I have come to the waters. I have seen that the heavens are higher than the earth. And I believe that the rains will come down to bring forth the bud that may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
For I have seen that day when you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace and the mountains and the hills shall break forth in singing before you. And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Lou
