Random thoughts on the blue highways.
You never know what you will find on the blue highways. Particularly when the choice at an intersection is controlled by the roll of a die. About the only rule is that highway onramps don't count as an intersection. You don't even have to roll the die. If one road looks interesting, go for it.

Perfection in human terms
Atheism vs Religion - Another Perspective - Beliefnet Forums: "Perfection in human terms is rising above the common existence of people in one's society to teach better ways of relating with each other. It is usually a dangerous quest, as society generally is reluctant to change, especially if there is a God or gods involved. Gods of course deny any perfection associated with humans, as that would make humans better than Gods which are manifestly imperfect by any measure."
I am exceedingly careful when applying labels to anyone or anything. If you had a cardboard box and put a label on the box that read "BOX," you would have achieved the effect that occurs when one applies superlative and idealistic adjectives like "perfect" or "absolute" to things or entities. IMHO, perfect, perfection, imperfect and imperfection should be avoided when discussing any lifeform. Apply those terms to any God, god or supernatural phenomenon and they are just as meaningless.
