I'm going to take some time soon and re-read my entries and discussions to see if there is any chance that I'm misleading myself. I recall being clear about the occasions when my intent was to describe experience without advocating that others "should" feel the same way, but in case I wasn't, I will rectify it. I do want to be very clear on those occasions when I am not advocating a view but merely expressing my feelings. (If, on the other hand, I *was* being clear, I don't know what else to say.)
