by logansrun inas i've stepped off the train of a myopic weltenschuung and entered the busy streets of competing ideas, i have come to a very interesting realization: all claims, ideas, philosophies, behaviors -- everything -- can be criticised.

(unless one goes from one hc group to another, that is).
i'm all too curious...for those that have been out a while, did you go through this anomie?
