I don't and I realize that.  Thanks for caring, though.

I do hope you are right about the ones that I am meeting and, thinking
about most chance public meetings, you /are/ undoubtedly right.
I only hope that more exist who aren't that way.  Of course, the
standard bell curve suggests that I'm wrong about it, anyway, and that
those others /do/ exist .. out there..  somewhere.


My fear is that the bell curve, while encompassing higher and higher
'quality' on the one side, is (most certainly) feeling a slide of
same on the other side.  The common denominator is becoming more and
more common.

Soon (in geologic time) the two sides of the bell curve may not be able
to cross-reproduce!

Then what will our Creationists have to say? 
 
(and is it just another of my own limited perceptions or do most of the
Creationists live here in the US?)
