Sometimes things just *click*
I have always wondered what happens in your brain when you have a sudden epiphany - when something that you previously didn't understand snaps into your range of understanding for the first time...can you remember when you rode a bike the first time - suddenly your body just figured out what it needs to be doing in order to make all the simultaneous actions congeal - or when algebra just suddenly made sense, when moments before it was incomprehensible? There are moments that change everything, often I can not remember "how" I thought about something before that moment.
I know this seems like random ranting, especially as I leave it as an unfinished thought...but the real world needs some attention...

ps - thanks for the link. I've supported various charities financially (Save the [Chesapeake] Bay, NRDC, Lambda Legal Fund, and bits to disease-related and "celeb" charities [Gary Payton's Glove Foundation, the 'Dead's Furthur Foundation]) but, as I said, genocide's becoming too recurrent and serious a problem to ignore.
