Surely MikeBailey must be a careful and thoughtful reader,
finding much to say about a URL I glanced at and tossed in:
http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/editorials/signs20061103_TheBushesandTheLostKing.php

This particular idea of Mike's admits of an alternate response:
> the idea of an ineradicable "deviancy" seems to assume there is no

I once surfed preterite to see which way it would fall, but cannot now
remember: Are the preterite those that are passed by in the temporal
blessing? Or are they those showing an excess of temporal blessing who
have been passed by in the spiritual and eternal/post-mortal blessing?

I get the impression it is used as the former, but I feel it is the latter.

As one who believes he has discovered a gnostic niche of existence that is
unknown to the world generally, kept that way by Totem and Taboo principles;
the world at large, even though sometimes showing kindness or altruistism,
is lost, and by continuous choice through freewill, unreachable, irredeemable.

So the alternate response is not to fight for dominance, or even a fair shake,
but apostatis: 'apostasy' or better: standing apart, hoping for later rewards.

Yours truly,
