Thanks for the thought Eric.
But I can only speak for myself and I am No Philosopher by any means. I just like to increase my knowledge about things that happen within our society as seen first hand.

Here are a couple of definitions found in "Webster's New World Dictionary." Second College Edition, Deluxe Color Edition; Copyright 1970, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1982, and 1984 by Simon & Schuster, Inc."



Superstition
su-per-sti-tion (soo'per stish'en) n. [ME. supersticion < M Fr. < L. superstito, excessive fear of the gods, superstition, orig., a standing still over < superstare, to stand over < super-, SUPER- + stare, to STAND] 1. any belief or attitude, based on fear or ignorance, that is inconsistent with the known laws of science or with what is generally considered in the particular society as true and rational; esp., such a belief in charms, omens, the supernatural, etc. 2. any action or pratice based on such a belief or attitude 3. such beliefs or attitudes collectively

Superstitious
su-per-sti-tious (-es) adj. 1. of, characterized by, or resulting from superstition 2. having superstitions

Example; Will somebody chose the icon by preference of the color or by superstition of the color?

Lets do a survey:

A. Preference of Color and Why?

B. Superstitious of Color and Why?



Thanks everyone. Let me know if you want me to stop and I'll put this Thread to
