A few months back I expressed my views on the level debate. It was and still is my assertion that as children we are at level three ( If three levels exist)and it is the process of aging that regresses us. Richard admitted that he saw my point. I believe that was how he put it. Be that as it may, I have considered this line of thought further and believe I was wrong. Possibly if any levels can exist their are only two. I did a two and half hour interview the other day for a news paper. The main topic will be the web site. The editor and I discussed this idea of levels and how what I present allows people to access the thought processes that they used as children. And the value of such research and entertainment. The fellow took allot of notes and I saw his eyes well up a couple of times as I ran my psychological dog and pony show past him. ( This is the typical response when I discuss this with people especially when they have children) I do this intentionally to elicit the response. It is the response of sorrow of having lost what is most precious and the possibility that what was lost can be easily found.

Best Wishes
