| This is something I've always sensed, but I've never heard the idea so well expressed and explained. This very simple yet profound form of communication is one of the things I love most about animals, and why I've always formed strong connections to them-a sort of understanding that is hard to expla... |

| I think men and women should focus more on loving each other, than on exactly defining where each person's responsibility ends and the next person's begins. We should have an abundance of love for each other, not some exactly-dictated amount from which no one dares vary. I believe in elastic order.... |

| That's an interesting take, and I'm glad you distinguish between the two-I wish more people would. This is an area where we need to be careful, as the lines can be blurred. Personally, I would not describe patriotism so much as an act of pride but rather an act of love and attachment to place (in th... |

| I get them from time to time as well, and they are sometimes triggered by small, crowded spaces. I find that it often helps to pay attention to the physical and mental changes that lead up to a panic attack, recognize them for what they are, and stop it from progressing any further, which I do in a ... |

| I used to watch that show a lot-I think I remember it being on after I got home from school. It was a great concept and a very good quality show-a lot of the kid's shows on PBS were (I loved Ghostwriter, Mark Kistler's Imagination Station, Reading Rainbow, etc.). |

It may so happen that I no longer do, but I will always have that in the back of my mind and try to find ways to prepare for that... |

I love running. It boosts my confidence, keeps me positive, and is very relaxing. I miss it quite a bit right now, since the Saskatchewan winters are too cold and icy for outdoor running and I can't afford to hit the gym, but at least there's always winter sports  |

I developed my system of ethics as a kid based on the very wise teachings of my parents and those around me, which I suppose is no different from NT's. Part of it also was a r... |
