Naah, it was _pretentious_ of him, he used a big word.  A bourgeois
sensibility would have manifested itself by saying "I piss on your

Of course, now we have to deconstruct his statement, and discuss the
semiotics.  Not to mention the valuable semantic difference between
urinating ON alt.postmodern and urinating IN alt.postmodern.

You should be worried.  In the story fate intervened in the form of a
major hurricane and flood that destroyed the building and container of
thiotimoline in order to get it wet.  That's the problem with the stuff as

  Okay so you've bet away everything you own (control), you now have 
nothing and someone else has more than their share. You ARE still entitled 
to compensation. The person who has gained has still gained though because
s/he can sell that control (or wager it) for its capital value. Even though
s/he has to pay a levy on it if s/he wants to keep it, s/he still controls
it. I don't see a problem here.

  Okay, now I get your point. It still doesn't seem to me to be strictly
speaking the maximum value anyone puts on the resource since as you say,
once you have some you don't want more as much, but we're thinking along
the same lines.

he (and my father--they were in the same class at Columbia--especially
scary since they both had bypass operations in the same year...) got
his degree.  Somewhere in one of Asimov's essays he recounts the story

The point is that all of us make assumptions.  To not make assumptions and
generalizations would be tantamount to going mad; one simply couldn't exist
and function within this frame of reference.  However, it is very important
to recognize that you have made assumptions, and that those assumptions may
not (in the long run) prove true.  In talking to quite a few
Fundamentalists, I have been repeatedly refuted with the remark, "The Bible
says it's so."  The problem is that the arguer and I are going from
different basic assumptions:  he, that the Bible is infallible, and I, that
nothing is necessarily true.  I refuse to accpet the argument that something
is so simply because a particular holy book says it is; on the other hand, I
am perfectly willing to accept "Do unto others as you would have them do
unto you" as feasible social model on which to base a society, since the
statement is merely advice, not necessarily dogma.

Erik, the BFG

And another thing:  Fundamentalists who tell me I'm going to Hell for not
believing in God; did it ever occur to these people that if I don't believe
in God, I might not believe in Hell, either?  You made Hell, folks, you keep
it.

If that were the case, why didn't Lincoln issue the Emancipation Proclamation
until something like two years into the war?  Seems to me more the case that
the North didn't want to lose easy access to the raw materials from the South
(can't run a textile factory without cotton [if you want to produce inexpensive
textiles], and shipping cotton from Egypt is more expensive than shipping it
from the Southern U.S.).  Yes, Abolitionism WAS a factor in the war, but if it
were a primary factor, the Emancipation Proclamation should have come at the
beginning of the war, or even before the war.  As to the South "defending its
right for each state to decide what to do," please note that States' Rights
were NOT restricted to the issue of slavery.  If we still had those rights for
which the CSA was fighting, it would be illegal for the federal government to
mandate programs in the several states without providing funding for said
programs.

Just a minor point:  Though the Declaration of Independence DOES use the phrase
