Platt,

     Platt said:  "As for Dynamic discussion, I hope
you don't define 
it as everyone agreeing on everything."

     By dynamic discussion I mean creatively changing
society, the culture, the intellectual values of the
day.  If, I were in your worldview agreeing to
disagree might not not be an option or maybe it is? 
Let's think about it, not kill about it.

     Platt said, "What in the world are you going to
do with a bow and arrow?"  

     I'm not going to eat Bin Laden after I use it, if
that's what you mean.  And as I already said, the
population in this society is too large for full scale
hunting and gathering.  When I fish I am just trying
to keep to myself, friends, and family.  You got a be
a bit quiet while ya fish you know.

     Platt said:  "...science and technology (solar
power for instance) and all the choices it permits one
to have? Are you dismissing them?"

     Platt sit back and go fishin' for awhile.  I am
not questioning myself here, but if need be, I will
provide you with some clarity.  You didn't add the
part about solar power within a society, I did,
remember, Thanks though.

     Platt said:  "Not "any" disputes and problems,
just those where my opponent wants to kill me. I
gather you either don't believe Bin Laden when he says
he wants to destroy you and me, or else your don't
care. I haven't figured out yet which it is."

     Sure there are not just 'any' disputes, and you
should know a lot about killing more than me its'
something you seem to be closer to and more threatened
by.  Remember I would fight somebody that tried to
hurt my family.  Just think of me as the reins on this
wagon, pulling in the racing horses, and its' not just
this U.S. culture I pull the reins upon, it is Bin
Laden's kind too.  Don't forget the peace and calm
while you go and fight and kill, ok Platt.  I know
its' tough, and Bin Laden and his buddies are
confusing, but your confusing to Platt.  Both of you
are very confusing.  I don't know why either one of
you have to behave the way do.  It just seems a bit
irrational that people, even ones' called terrorists,
want to kill.  What am I going to do in this safe
haven of mine, protected by the two oceans while the
U.S. solders go and kill to defend this country?  Try
as best I can to keep the sanity and peace that is
able to still be expressed in this world.

     Your stubborn, and I'll be stubborn and hopefully
my stubbornness wins out or we are all in deep, deep,
deep, trouble.  Kinda like the wild west stories I
have heard.  Shot 'em all, last man standin' wins and
will carry on his or her worldview.  Well, Platt, I'm
not goin' shot you, What are you going to do to me? 
And then what should we do afterward when the dust
settles, maybe we could think about how to avoid this
mess in the future, ok.
