			"It is a fact readily acknowledged, that for humans, an idea is much more powerful than a fact." One idea: just as ideas can close our minds, they can open them. Ideas can help connect things or keep them apart. They can help make sense of things - or block making sense of things. The Idea Emporium - for good thinking.
