Steve, Do you remember in what childhood story, things run round and round a tree until they turn into butter?
Those things weren't monkeys, weasels, OR MULBERRY BUSHES. Nick Hint: No teacher would read this story to a child, nowadays. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Smith Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 5:23 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] faith Doug - Congratulations on avoiding another opportunity to become someone's hood ornament! > Apropo of nothing, of course, except that I retain my faith that they > are out to get me when I'm on the motorcycle. However, for the sake of the Monkey, the Weasel and the Mulberry bush, I contend that your use of the world "faith" here aligns with my use of the word "Faith" in general and roughly matches what those who I believe you revile (or at least chide) do. You (as they) choose a *working statement* which has no basis in fact (has been refuted or at least can't be verified), but which *works well for you* and the *rhetoric* of the statement plays well within your community (of other riders who subscribe to the same Faith). I think I'm turning to butter. - Steve ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
