Enlightened people organized and associated with one another in secrecy to prevent execution or imprisonment. <BR/><BR/>I relate this today. Those who accuse Widow's Son for not having guts to post his name; perhaps he is spreading his ideas of enlightenment and is protecting himself from expulsion with a screename. <BR/><BR/>I find his ideas quite open-minded and besides, I don't have to agree with him if I don't want to. Just becuase someone is saying something you don't think should be said, dosen't mean THEY should stop; it simply means YOU stop listening.
