== context == 

 i appreciate the context tag  because i am so close to the topic, i am not clear on what aspects of the article are vague or lacking in context  i am often too colored by my own philosophical presupposition to describe them clearly to an "outsider."  would Stevertigo, Joshuaschroeder, or Alai be willing to make some comments here on the talkpage about what sections of the article are vague or lacking in context to aid in clarification?
