Congratulations on your placement in the one-liner contest, Tom. Facing reality can be a frightening experience for some people, so they remain in the primitiveness" of their comfort zone. Go well, David

I wouldn't have put it exactly that way -- I was referring to taming our baser, reptilian impulses. Thanks for the congrats. :-)

You have to tame yourself first (substitute love) before you can tame another. Thanks, Andrea. :-)
