Most of what I've learned in school is utter rubbish true but rubbish and inapplicable to any situation I find myself in. Life is where it is all at and where all our learning should be done.

I must say you are several steps ahead of the normal life cycle compared to most college students. I don't know how many kids I taught after they graduated from school with masters in mechanical engineering to screw in a light bulb. College ME grads are great scientists but have not practical application common sense. But they were top of there class. They knew everything, just ask them.

Theoretically possible and practical are almost NEVER the same thing... I do lack real world experience in a lot of ways but at least I know it.

As I said, several steps ahead. At least your not closed minded.

I once saw a really disturbing bumper sticker "An open mind is like a fortress with it's gates unbarred".

Many times in my life I've come across things that challenge my views on life. It is those times that either open your mind or close it for good.

Mental facilities are full of those who have closed there minds for good. We use so little of our minds capacity, why would anyone keep a closed mind.

I wonder what kind of images you would get if you took a sheet of glass sprinkled it with water and used it as a lens (the rest of the sheet being flat therefore giving a virtual image).
