Feel better knowing that if we all progressed to the “realm,” then the abstract thinkers wouldn’t be so darned special!

My fingers did not operate concretely enough.

Wish that the government would do less legislating on behalf of the beliefs of what some people think is “best” (think Prohibition, abortion, sodomy, and blue laws), and a better job of protecting rights and property. It’s a short road from a seatbelt/helmet requirement to mandatory….take your pick (religion, diet, hair style, etc.)

Seems some of the posters have not progressed beyond the concrete to the realm of abstract thought.
