Does this then mean that the radical works harder and the conservative drags him/her down. <br /><br />Mind you, if there were not this imbalance, this to and fro, I suspect nothing would grow. <br /><br />I suspect we need both, but I prefer to be on the side of the radical, even with my own occasional tendencies towards the conservative. <br /><br />Thanks, Kirk.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.com
