On the note, I offer this quote which is always amusing to me:
"The only claim made for any organized ideas of human nature is ... words, a working model of human nature makes things visible, and you visible as well."
- from "The Human Nature Industry", by Ward Cannel and June Macklin

There are some theories that various 'power' segments of society actively cultivate a particular working model for their own benefit. Foremost, of course, are Clergy, lawyers, and gov. (Has anyone heard of 'Neo-Tech'?) I've always thought and recently espoused that there should be classes from the beginning of highschool on philosophy and sociology. I suppose the problem would be which philosophy and whose spin on things the schools would encourage. I just think that too many people don't think of themselves on the 'meta' level. (Thinking about what they think and do and why.) I had my little crisis at 13. Not to mention the fact that there would be more atheists... :-) sdw -- Stephen D.
