[MD] Able to change well.

[X Acto]

Marsha,
I agree, The problem I think is calling one true and one false.
but that is a failing of the interpretive factor, now  a dialog
on what makes one or the other better or more valuable
would bring us all closer to a richer understanding of both,
But as far as I have been able to coax from Bo, this is
not his interest, it's the either/or all or nothin kind of
endeavor.

Believe me, all I ever wanted was a honost explanation of why
it's better.
"It just is" , never has worked for me, when I was a kid or now.

-Ron

Marsha:  
Why must it be either/or?  Bo should be able to spend the rest of his life on 
the MD 

finding the best words to support his point-of-view.  A point-of-view that I too 
came 

to but from a different direction, and now a point-of-view I share with him.  
Either/or?
Isn't it about getting beyond needing to declare this or that?  Showdown is a 
step 

backwards.
