O.K., we're talking at cross purposes.  However, since I used for many years 
a sig line that said "OAD/CAM" (Old As Dirt, Clear As Mud), I'm not the 
least bit surprised.  :)

I don't "see" how I "see" the world as negative or fear and that caused me a 
bit of confusion.  I see it as not playing pretend, and that is not meant to 
offend anyone but just how I've always viewed it.  A total land of reality. 
My cousin said I don't have any frosting on my cake or gravy hiding what is 
under neath everything <g>

However, in my case, while I see all of the "stuff" out there without the 
painting of nice on them, I don't give a dead rat's patooty about them 
either.  Don't care about the opinions of others and never have.  Oh well if 
"they" don't like it.  I have never had to choose or create an environment 
because I never gave any energy to those who create hostility.

Ah geez, I am by far worse than you at explanations <g>  I reign supreme in 
the land of CAM!

And, yes I can see how you came to your conclusion.  I'm just a little more 
weird than you <g>
