I wasn't asked for universals - just manufactured goods - these are goods that do not necessarily resonate from one generation to another - or even from one western culture to another

Radiator brushes,button hooks,pencils,paper clips aren't quite universal enough. They presuppose steam heat,boots,a need to write things down, and a need to separate piles of paper,itself a manufactored object. Wouldn't something like string be less identifiable? Also, Miller's question has no pertinence to the problem at hand,which is the way he usually conducts his arguments. I am surprised at the improvement in his prose, one might almost think he had engaged someone else to write his responses. Kate Sullivan ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
