Marsha And I suppose you are suggesting that it is an either/or proposition? Science or sun pushing dung beetles? That type of choice is ridiculous. [Case] Either/Or? He suggested a continuum. A whole, understood in terms of its extremes. A field of probability. For most of us, either extreme would serve But we each find our comfort zone twixt the poles. We settle into coordinates along axes of Fear of the unknown And lust for precision. At points in many dimensions It can look like shit in all directions. In such a spot Any choice must seem ridiculous.
