Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

beside me. By his aura I saw that he was an official and was
suspicious. Apparently he was wondering why I should be
driving alone, with no woman friends.
He was a great talker, but he left time enough to ply me
with questions. Questions which I could answer. "No
women, Sir?" he said, "but how unusual. Perhaps you have
other interests?"
I laughed and said, "You people think only of sex, you
think that a man traveling alone is a freak, someone of
whom you must be suspicious. I am a tourist, I am seeing
the sights. I can see women anywhere."
He looked at me with some understanding in his eyes,
and I said, "I will tell you a story which I know is true. It
is another version of the Garden of Eden."
"Throughout history in all the great religious works of
the world there have been stories which some have believed,
but which others, with perhaps greater insight, have re-
garded as legends, as legends designed to conceal certain
knowledge which should not fall before any chance person
because such knowledge can be dangerous in such hands.
"Such is the story or legend of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden, wherein Eve was tempted by a serpent
and in which she ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge,
and having been tempted by the serpent, and having eaten
of the Tree of Knowledge, they gazed upon each other and
saw that they were naked. Having obtained this forbidden
knowledge, they were no longer allowed to remain in the
Garden of Eden.

"The Garden of Eden, of course, is that blissful land of
ignorance in which one fears nothing because one under-
stands nothing, in which one is, to all intents and purposes,
a cabbage. But here, then, is the more esoteric version of
the story.
"Man and woman are not just merely a mass of proto-
plasm, of flesh stuck upon a bony framework. Man is, or
can be, a much greater thing than th
