Wonderfully wise perceptions. . . THANK you so much for the excellent insight. I look forward to the day when I, like you, can barely remember what the big tragedy was at the time. And, you're right - Kalamatianos did, indeed, have some on target remarks. . . I won't even remember the names of the vast majority of the people at that event - and we're not talking as long as ten years from now, but closer to five!

Right now, though, the raw pain of it is still pretty fresh, especially since I'm not yet sure what the full consequences will be. Oh well, I'll live.

I am brand new to the Dr. Bob Psycho Babble experience. I found your message by placing into Google Search 'Why do Smart People Do Stupid Things?' It took me straight to your message. . . isn't that wild? Hey, I was feeling pretty darned needy to do some anonymous soul-baring and to receive some good feedback and was really reaching out. . . glad you were there!

Thanks!

BB

> Please don't post under more than one name at the same time. If for any reason you feel you need to change your posting name, follow these steps:
>
> 1). Stop posting under your current name.
> 2). Re-register ("for the first time") under a new name.
> 3). Post a message (under your new name) at Psycho-Babble Administration to let others know that you used to post under a different name. This is to try to reassure them that posters who appear to be new really are new. You don't have to say what your old name was.
