SA:  Experience?  Values and morals experiencing, I
know, but we can group these values and experiences
into patterns, knowing these patterns don't stop.  As
Krimel would state, zoom-in: zoom-out.  Self is a
pattern that we could agree upon in definition for
practicality, you do need to add "self" after "no" to
point out what "no" your referring to, or you could
simply say "no", but then why be concerning with
politics and writing your representative?  Isn't there
no-representative?  I'm really wondering where your
coming from.

SA:  I see your saying morals are unto themselves, and
static patterns of what morals are define morals into
a particular clump of aggregates patterns, or at least
that's what I'm noticing by what your saying.  What
"self" are you referring to that "is linked" to "moral
behavior"?

wandering along,
