You know what Chris, I've been thinking, perhaps you're right about all this

Damn, my fatal weak spot! Flattery will get you everywhere.

The logic of human desire always floats in the air above personal
preference. Remember, we -are- the universe-- our desire to _continue_ is
in absolute accordance with the logical imperative of the reality of which
we consistent: BE.
Its perfectly logical for you to want to fulfill your desires. Now, if
you're asking if there's a *purpose*, well, that's a different kettle of
fish sticks.
