It would be nice to live in an 'ideal' world, but then again... not-so-much... Remember the Real-Bio-dome experiment in the late 80's early 90's... they synthesized Earth's entire-environment,,, except one variable: The Wind...

Without it, trees toppled over under their own-weight; apparently the resistance of the wind on our side of the Bio-Dome helps trees, plants, etc... dig deep, deep roots to help them thrive and survive in an otherwise 'hostile' environment... maybe some-how to with us?

Ya, I've tried to compensate this time with [annotations] & [additionol-info].. this time I probably closed my browser too soon...

Yes, [Sex], [Politics], & [Power] are 3-strong-factors that motivate one to any certain action/behavior..... here in the states though you seem to get all 3 of being a Rock-Star!! even worse a failed-one on the likes of American-Idol... still gets you noticed where it would not have happened otherwise... Fame? Vanity of Vanities? somewhat yes... then agin...??

Please turn on Annotations for my greater point... still trying to overcome my own 'shortcoming' of learning quick-capture...

Hi there ;-) you lost the end again. If you were saying the the final objective of the game is playing then I would ask this is considered true of the most natural form of game. The next time that you see two puppies at play ask yourself if there is something more in what they are doing and how they are doing it ;-)
