Thanks for your support!

Yes, it's not so much stupidity as it is ignorance - although we live
in an overwhelming civilization. Consider what life was like prior to
1900. It was pretty much that way since the beginning of time. I've
always learned whatever I could with a passion. I'm an egg head, and
I have a hunger to "find out".

I've been studying anthropology for a few years on my own. I get
courses from *The Teaching Company*, too. Great courses taught by
excellent teachers.

Once you learn how to do it, you can't stop learning and, say,
integrating knowledge. The world reveals itself to you in wondeful
and awesome ways.

Plus, I get to be called, "Doctor", sometimes.

Kinda nice.
