Hey Don,

Great story!

And I agree with what you say about learning.

Thing is, I really did put all that behind me at that particular moment in time. The good part is that after that I started looking for myself I eventually became able to begin sorting out what information I had been INSTILLED with that I wanted to UNINSTILL from my mind. It became a process of keep the good, jettison the bad.

And you're right about this too: I came to really appreciate all those good things I got from my parents, from my religion and peers, and so on. School experiences? Well, I got some good information about physics in high school!
