more TRP backhoeing; on denying the spirit

Whenever the terms 'soul' and 'spirit' get used, I can never figure  
out what they mean. They sound cool and important though, right?  
Hillman and Ventura get all profound by trashing what has come before  
and replacing it by en-souling formerly 'inanimate' objects? Now it's  
your furniture that's the problem. Feng shui through archetypal  
psychology. Pretty funny. I like both of those guys, though. Ventura  
even responded with a gracious postcard to a rant I wrote him in  
response to 100 Years. I think they both know they're full of shit.  
For now, I'm gonna go replace a lamp and see if it helps. The old  
one's flickerin' like fireflies.

Does the G in AGTD stand for "Gainst?"
