one other thought dave, since you seem to really be focused on man’s innate hypocrisy. I agree with you that everyone is pathetically hypocritical. Those who have lofty goals in life are the most hypocritical.
But I do not want to intend to be lame or treacherous so that I can avoid being hypocritical.
And to be even cheesier than I have been already…
What is worse, failing at makings one’s mark, or making your mark so easy that you do not need to aim?
