Thank you for the apology on the use of "nonsense." I figured for a better 
plister than that. Reasonable folks can disagree and neither be wrong. I'm 
also glad I'm a little slow on the response, as I'd prepared one a bit 
nastier about "nonsense." Little did I realize my brief uncloaking would 
generate this much discussion. Should know better. Again, the debate is great 
and I learn from you all every day.
Please don't confuse this with the body/soul/spirit/whatever issue. The 
classical rhetoricians might disagree with you about the digestive vs. 
memory/data storage function of the brain. 
Mr. Morris, I appreciate your clarification and elaboration. As for our minds 
being still independent, well, how 'bout dat www and Internet? 
Before I go, a bit of wit from witcity relating to M&D:
CLEARLY, THE PATH TO PEACE IS RIDDLED WITH COMPLEX
OBSTACLES - A group of Kosovo Albanians is demanding that
a dog adopted by U.N. police as a mascot be euthanized because they say 
it is Serb. Asked about the brewing controversy, the dog said, "It's 
amazing to me that the Kosovars are focusing on my lineage, and not the 
fact that I'm apparently a talking dog."
