Thanks Homalinadir. :) So interesting you were writing about value systems. Please post the link if you blogged about it. I'd love to read it.

You're right about the wordcraft because it kickstarted my previous career :) I haven't really "written" in about 4 years though so I was worried I'd gotten clumsy. Glad to know it's all still there.

You write very well yourself.

Just one encounter with a psycho changes how we navigate the world. I regret that kids aren't educated about psychos from an early age. All we give them are fairy tales and a misguided sense of their strength. Nobody's strong around deranged people. They do what they like.

Have you read M Scott Peck's essay People of the Lie? Fascinating :)
