Hi SA and the rest of the universe again,

SA said:
This is the lay of the land, and as not much
cooperation occurs, then not much contemplation or a
close-look.  More-like far-away glances at what those
birds might be flying far away near the horizon. 
Quick glances that try to identify what they barely
are able to see.  

David:
I've been 'mulling over' what you wrote here..  I like it.  It reveals this quality hidden behind this baron 'lay of the land'. Brilliant.

Co-operation is imperative.  The foundation of all society.  We're in this together. Let's act like it, listen to others and try to explain where we think others are, our differences are, and try to come to some kind of better consensus and a clearer understanding of ourselves and the people around us. 

Cheers,

David.
