That's why people can take the Mona Lisa and use the image without violating copyright. Reach Jane Wolf Brown by email. Visit Jane's WWW Site .
Synthesists believe there is no such thing as a basic agreement among people about facts.
They are by nature debaters. They argue excessively, not so much to win, but for the simple fun of arguing. They can be maddening. They tend to be negative, disruptive, and rambling, but they also tend to be challenging, curious, restless, and creative. You may have to agree to disagree.
