Haj, I strongly appreciate your acknowledgement !

Of course we are aspiring to grow beyond our conditioning, therefore it is good when it is pointed out that our use of metaphorical language is counter to our revolutionary aspirations and aims.

We need peace -brokering plans, and guerrilla tactics as ways of empowerment ... at one level my criticism is a minor point but on another level, it is not - we need to feed ourselves with beautiful imagery that motivates and inspires.

Being likened to a flea does not do it for me !!!

Enough said : )
