Hi Anee,

           When I was talking about being reasonable I was being tongue in
cheek to a certain degree. I employ sarcasm and humor to make points. There
are times they work well, in gettings ones point across. All of us are
reasonable and unreasonable on some issues and to some people.

>My problems in math are largly visual...and because my writing is so >bad
that usualy dosn;t help things and the adding machines only have >so many
functions on them.  But the main problem is visual.  I can get >by with
basic algebra no problem.

         There are very fancy calcultors on the market today that to
geometric and advanced scientific calculations. Computer programs also.

    The never reasonable person wonders how geometry is taught to the blind.
