Ah, Bill, I can always count on you, if I can't count on anyone else.
You can say it, that makes you a morality gene atheist I guess, and me
a morality gene kinda religious person.  But neither one of us can
prove it.  I don't like the sound of that. Me religious?  Can we turn
that around?  No, it doesn't work that way.  Anyway, I was just
guessing as nobody knows for sure, we are all guessing for a while.
Easy to say, hard to prove.  Like Ken is very smart and good-
looking.    Regards, Ken Hogan
