For a few reasons: 1. (A3) is a rather impotent psychological generalization that does not explain anything new. The motivation for security may be a very strong force in people's lives, even the paramount one, but it doesn't have to be. I have met people whose driving motivation was to do good for others, regardless of the risks to personal security. You may say that doing this gave them a secure feeling, and I will not argue with you, because you obviously know the complete emotional and psychological makeup of every person on the face of the planet, as well as many others, I am sure. 2. Even if (A3) were meaningful, which it is not, I have the right to be wrong. This is why I do not attack you for holding onto such obvious inanities as (A1),(A2),(A3),(A4)....(An), and why I instead try to point out why they are wrong. and 3. This psychological mumbo-jumbo really has no place on sci.physics. To be perfectly honest, I don't believe anyone here, including myself and yourself, have any credibility when we talk about subconscious motivation. Post it somewhere else...er...I don't believe I just said that. ;-) > I am exhausted . I can continue, but I am exhausted. Obviously you have exhausted your ability for rational (I use the term in the loosest possible sense, to avoid overloading my COSMIC SARCAST-O- METER) discourse and have instead opted to attempt to bludgeon us by telling us what we "must" do. If this is all you can muster, please don't bother to continue. Jason Yawn...Not The Jason From Oxford...Sigh...Will I _Ever_ Be?
