A magic bullet? No, I am not that naive, and I accept and understand that my AV is part of a healthy brain. Nonetheless, annoying things are annoying. While I understand and accept that bees are a part of a healthy environment, I would still prefer not to be stung. This leads again to a distinction between skillful and unskillful desire, as well as skillful and unskillful suffering. This is a useful distinction here, because without it the reductio leads pretty darn quick to the absurdum.

I am enjoying the discussion, Dalek, and your considered response to my posts are most welcome. Thanks for stepping in to attempt to fill the void left by our venerable Terminally Unique. Coming along nicely.
