Kurt,
  By the tone of your letter, I can only assume you belong to the air
conditioned set and you're afraid to look at and question your
circumstances.

  I find your characterization of my statements as a hate speech
interesting.  Remember this communication. There will be no need for
"I told you so's."  The reason we are not in sync in our observation
is simply a matter of awareness.  If the two of us were to be
asked what we see after looking at a forest, you would be the tree
counter, while I would perceive and describe it holistically. 

 I'm afraid that I find that I am unable to say anything else to a man
who can't distinguish love from hate.
