Reply #129: Honestly, I don't know the truth. I thought I did,

[Zorra]

when I was 17 yrs. old. I seem to have forgotten it over the years.

I only believe what seems to be real to me, I can't speak for others, although many of us seem to have a large number of common experiences and have formed similar opinions about human existence, evolution, and altruism. It may be that all our actions are predestined by some universal principle of opposites, but then again, maybe not. I prefer to believe that I have free will.

But, anyway, it is good to hear that somebody knows the truth; I can't debate with with the absolute. My "dogs breakfast" opinion will pale in comparison to the truth, and will be inaccurate.

I really have no idea if there have been conservatives and liberals in virtually every society since the beginning of time, I'll just have to take your word for it.

(BTW, the reason I did not fully respond to your post was because my battery died in my computer and I did not have my power cord with me. You couldn't have known this. I apologize)
