Melba, you recently said that you had decided that you had been wrong about some things in the past, and now you see things differently. So were you right then, or are you right now? Are you more right now than you used to be? If so, how do you know?

Just posing questions that, I think, are relevant. In my life, at least, I have been called wrong so much, and taught to question everything I think, that it has been very hard for me to contend with all that judgement. So it is very important to me to try to get things straight in my mind, to find out what it is that I really think. Is this "splashing others"? Do you think that people in general think carefully, in this world, and that they think so carefully and come to such accurate conclusions in general that we don't really need to try to work things out for ourselves?

Does the name George W. Bush mean anything to you? Or Tony Blair? Does confused thinking have consequences?
