That's a reference to a word Heinlien invented to mean understanding something in it's entirety including it's timeline from beginning to end. It come from his book "Stranger in a Strange Land".

Uppity, your comments bring up something that drives me nuts. I watch ABC news then switch to CBS news most evenings. I swear that 7 of 8 commercials during both shows are for prescription drugs. You can't go buy them without a Rx, so they must be trying to put them into our heads so we'll demand them from our doctors. (as you stated) It also proves, to me, these drug companies have too much money. Those ads, day after day, in prime time, must cost a fortune. Cut the ads and cut the price.
Comment on smoking- How can anybody believe that inhaling smoke from anything (tobacco, weed, or whatever) can do anything but damage your lungs? Although there is arguement of responsibility from the tobacco companies for lying about the addictive nature, I think the individual is at the front of the line for blame. (sorry Rob)

I believe the current controversy is whether Carmen should be so skittish.... that was the last topic up for discussion - right?

I read one of the "religion" posts and wanted to reply but didn't. We can all agree to disagree and leave it at that.
