Well it sure is handy for peeing in the woods. Of course you don't get to go through child birth or menopause or menstruation.

What I really mean by that is that I think there is more to each one of us than that which is under our direct control, and, I think that part helps me out quite a bit. There is life apart from calculation.
Hahahahaha!!!!!
...And on a serious note, yes, I agree with that second part, and that was my thinking as well.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
