Ok Ham, now you have to aknowledge that you are playing a game here. Because you went from "taking relatively simple stuff and erecting complex unintelligible verbiage out of it" on one day to taking complex, unintelligible stuff and making it relatively clear and simple on the next. That can't be by accident.
I have just a few comments: > Could you stub your toe without the brick (otherness) in your path or sense > hunger without valuing food (otherness)? Sure, hunger and a sore foot are > unpleasant sensations. But pain and discomfort are not values, it's their > remedy that we desire and value. Your hitting on a bugaboo of mine, the "values" vs value ambiguity. Somebody really needs to fix this thing. We all value good values and the best values are disambiguous. Perhaps another name for designating just Essential value. Got any suggestions? > We did the same until a couple of years ago when the township ran out of > money to put on such displays.

What would the founding fathers think of a citizen of this nation eschewing the communal and social bonding with his fellow citizens on this blessed holiday in favor of that sick immersion in hi def virtual reality that's become the main destroyer of America's values. Tsk tsk. My wife is English so we have a sort of divided celebration/mourning event. The kids pick which side they want to be on every year. Keeps it from getting too static, that's for sure.
