Me too.  Probably much more than you, my dear Mirimir.  To find the truth, you must believe.  I always wanted to believe.  I still believe in a better world for everybody, but it is becoming pretty hard to discover what means a "better world" and "everybody", uh!  :-/

Being a hard headed person makes me waste a lot of time following variables because Law is not an Exact Science and persons are not exact and precise at all, haha!!  ;)

No truth.  It hurts.  And it is probably true.  :(
