I also believe that wisdom is the ultimate in utilitarianism - not just for the near term or individual utility, but for the long term broad scope utility.



And Michael, you are a dear gentleman, but please know that if you give me the equivalent of a pat on the head for every answer I give, I'm going to puke. I posted this publicly rather than pm so that any other well-meaning individual will also know what my personal tastes are. I know you mean well and are trying your best to encourage people to stick around, so I thought you might appreciate some feedback regarding your efforts. I know that I appreciate it when people are honest with me, and you strike me as someone who has an appreciation for the truth like I do. Thank you for listening.
