     I strongly disagree. If it were so, how does fun, love, care, etc.
follow from the idea that it is our perceptions that dictate reality? It
would be just as well to rob, kill, rape, whatever satisfies our almighty
being - since we may then merely perceive it to be acceptable.
     I am glad this is NOT the case. I submit that reality exists without
regard to our mental attention to it; we are merely ill equipped sensually
and intellectually to be able to perceive it in it's true entirety ... and
unable as well to come to agreement on it's attributes for much the same
reasons.
