      Don't take it the wrong way- but can you define 'love', 'happiness', 'good' - or those type of abstract concepts?

        Love = feelings for fellow man, woman or pet.  Or food.
        Happiness = when Love is reciprocated.
        Good = opposite of bad.

        Obviously these conceptual things are a bit more detailed - but that's more than enough for an hours worth of forum flaming.

    Hubpages should offer free doughnuts.  I also...am not a serious writer.  I do enjoy doughnuts, however.  And I like when they are free.  No...I am not a cop...or a serious writer...just a guy who likes free doughnuts as he idles away hours at the keyboard.  So that is what it lacks...what it doesn't lack?  It does not lack for providing opportunities to vent my doughnut needs in questions, forums, and hubs.  It's a good place...better with doughnuts...
