William,
We do arrange and re-arrange, don't we? Some arrangements are stupid, and
some smart. The parts are finite because so is the world (but don't ever
ask me about Hiedeger). In/Out, Stupid/Smart, numbers rule! or was it
people's reactions?
But you meant THIS Whole Sick List, locally, down here. As Tipper O'Neal
said, "All politics blah blah" This list might well be renamed "The Rusty
Spoon." And our prodigal s~Z returns! And our fatted calf won't stop his
beeping bleating! Alah Salaam! Give us Peace!
If this is our finite fate, give me a ride in the rocket!
