Sorry, no "fish" here... I sent you the copy of AoK you asked for... it's all
in-there.
I'll add, here, that the anti-Affirmative-Action ballot "initiatives" of the
recent election are the Same-Stuff that I described in my prior post in this
thread... only in the case of the anti-Affirmative-Action "initiatives" the
'Addictive' Stuff is the external-environment correlates of merely-long-familiar
experience, acquired via nothing more than happenstance... yet, it's so
'Addictive' that folks take "initiative" so as to perpetuate "moving-toward"
behavior with respect to such.
Again, all of this is explained in the "Automation of Knowing..." ms. (AoK).
Have I ever tried marijuana?
Yes.
Did I inhale?
Yes.
Anything else you'd like to know?
