Eddo Rats stated August 1st 2013: As an outsider I can only conclude Al the boys are in love with the only girl in the classroom. Why don't you all send her a postcard to tell her your inner most feelings and get it over with. And then again back to business. Ant McWatt comments:

With Ant having defused the DMB response with humour perhaps we could get back to the point. I too winced a little at the rather patronising Marsha My Dear headline, but hey, it's really tough to make a difficult point on this forum these days, a point that doesn't fit the accepted MD ideology -

And specifically on Marsha being boring I've made the point before several times myself. Marsha sticks to her Buddhist guns like a cracked record, not because she's stuck in her ways, but because she's reacting to the scientistic ideologues stuck in / sticking to their ways. Nature. Until

Hi Arlo and All, I do not like the metaphor of dust for reality. In some mysterious ways we are keepers of the wind, you know like a windbag! Without moving wind there would be no differentiation in individuality. A blowhard! Joe On 8/2/13 11:01 AM, ARLO JAMES BENSINGER JR ajb...@psu.edu
