In the end though, it's the result that counts, and we all have our  
preferences and leanings relating to our experiences and conscience or  
philosophy or inclinations and temper towards others and a belief  
structure and an enquiring mind which we all hope is part and parcel of  
our make up as human beings, so that is it as far as I'm concerned and  
there's room for most things as long as it doesn't interfere with those  
making what they believe is a contribution in some small way to what  
knowledge is. I used to grind my own paint in order to get the colour I  
wanted. I think grinding one's own mind is an equivalent. But it's not  
freely available.
