...Hey no problem. Mine's not even a real system, just responding to 
yours from last week :)
Peace,
Deb :)
Ray's post was interesting I thought, but the argument about the 
roses example was just, in my mind, a symptom of a less visible, 
underlying problem... Some people like to fight! It wasn't probably 
even about the poor roses, it was just that some people can only 
feel happy when they are controlling everything about their 
environment, including their "turf"... Gives them a false sense of 

power and control...So I don't really think the roses 
were "insignificant" to either neighbor...they represented the issue 

of territory... sounded like the typical neighbor crap that happens 
to many people ever since the Hetfields and McCoys. Real stupid 
stuff and low level functioning... Unfortunately a huge portion of 
the US thinks on this "today on Montel Williams" or "Judge Judy" 

level and people don't walk around saying "Hmmm. I think today I 
will honor Mahatma Ghandi and practice non violent resistance."
Well I can get pretty riled up if the wrong person looks at me funny 
so who am I to talk? LOL :)
Time to practice some chanting and pacifism :)
Love,
Deb
