Totalization

I think my post brought up the theme of totalization.  Since,  as we know,  
"totalizaton" is associated with a lot of bad stuff (I personally am against 
badness),  just want to point out such a view on my part doesn't forclose any 
of the kinds of positive possibilities sketched by Steven.  And of course nor 
would I forclose the skeptical question.

Yours on monday,

Tom
