Ron,

I would think that analytic inquiry is an intellectual tool (pattern) to 
develop better patterns.

I'm a conventional girl, living in a conventional world.  And I'm not sure I 
have other choices available at the moment, or would have it any other way. 
How would one arrive at the conclusion that the MOQ is a better world-view 
than SOM if not for some good healthy analytic inquiry?  How would one 
understand that entities are empty of inherent existence, if not for some 
good healthy analytic inquiry?  I'm not sure I'd be participating in this 
forum if it wasn't for my interest in analytic inquiry.  (But I will admit I 
like to whirl and twirl into the moonlight when the mood hits me.)

I'm not getting your objection.

Marsha
