damn, wish i'd thought to write "out of control" forest fire in my reply to ergo, that characterizes you more accurately
oh well
anyway, i've had conversations with my brother-in-law regarding greater and lesser evil
at times i've managed to relay this feeling i have that the suffering of one is no less than the suffering of many (i have not taken the metaphor literally, but the story reminded me of this recurring, vacillating idea)
have you ever had a thought that grows intermittently clear and vague
one minute you see it so clearly you know precisely what it is you are feeling and why... then... poof, you are not so sure and can even argue quite convincingly with yourself
no split personality jokes please
