IT WORKED IT WORKED! i HAVE got a streak of clairvoyance (honestly the pun
wasn't intentional, at least, not consciously- STRANGE things happen in my
sub-conscious). My GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandfather was a clairvoyant.
The thing was though, His father KNEW his son would be clairvoyant! Groan,
yep time to go home!

All right, this would get mighty confusing. We have Lis the GRW, we have

My apologies ARC'rs, CC has been away for a bit, running on

Thanx, Gandalf, for the poem.  Was appropriate and timely,
since the day of posting was also my birthday.  Was a shame
I had to spend it out-of-town and be in technical and customer

	Oh, this is all so silly!

	I'm an Enlgish grad at the University of Louisville (where, if you
don't play basketball, you ain't got nuthin'!).  I'm eventually pursuing a
research position in AI, especially the Cognitive Psych end of it.

	I've spent most of my life studying the human animal, and found that
the female of the species, especially the type exuding a hair of reddish
origin, possess an attraction factor only rivaled by those of the blonde
persuasion, though the latter tend to (at times, no personal bias here) lack in
higher mental functions.  The former have a tendency towards short-temperness.

	Allright, enough b*llsh*t, here's the dope:

	I think that any woman is beautiful, irregardless of race, hair,
genre, or academic background.  I do have a slant towards red-heads, but don't
most men?  Something about that fiery red version....well.....I'll leave my
mind in the gutter...


	But really, romance is nothing more than becoming encircled by the
sphere of reality that encircles each one of us?  Aren't we merely looking for
someone to be our comrade in arms? partner in crime?

	I think the whole idea of relationships have taken a turn for the
worse, like marriage.  People place too much importance on these faculties, and
set them upon pedastels to be worshipped and awed.

	Don't get me wrong, I am all too in favor of marriage, I've established
that as an institution; but I think we all take it just a little TOO
seriously...
	
	Allright, I've babbled enough, and this is my first time here...
	So, response time...whaddya think?  I'm open to new views, and opposing
arguments, especially those of you overseas, as I've been amongst you and seen
some of your ways....

Subject: So, what is romance?
Keywords: romance what
Organization: Physics Dept. The University of Queensland
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1992 09:12:42 GMT

	So, let me put this question to the many experts out there who
have sailed the seas of life in quest for the gilden grail of romance.  
What is this furry beast, "romance"?  Is it but a charlatan's way to
paraphrase his need for a cuddle, a cook, and having his underwear
regularly washed?  Is it but a poetic expression to explain the series
of images and feelings that can arise from the flooding of one's
bloodstream with one's own natural amphetamines, seeking to destabilise
any logical thoughts that might be counter to the whimsies and delights
of a hedonistic heart?  Or is it something higher, or deeper, something
somehow intrinsic in our very nature, which drives us to make fools of
ourselves and to provide entertainment for scores of onlookers?

	Who among you would deny the pinnacle of emotion that can come
from so few sweetly and sensitively chosen words, from a brief but
meaningful look, from a momentary but sensitive touch of a cheek by a 
warm and caring hand?  The are seemingly so many examples that one could
quote, and yet all this empiricism seems to lead us in so many
contradictary directions that we are never able to properly rationlise
the place in our lives of romance, and the place of our lives in the
pagent of romance that is played out every day throughout every
far-flung corner of this very Earth.

	Perhaps we are not meant to be able to describe this phenomenon,
but to laugh, to cry, to enjoy, and to seek enrichment in something that
we can name but never quite seem to understand.  And yet, would I but
have the chance, I would know more of really is the heart of this
matter, the driving force that has brought empires to their end and
brought the lowly to rise to unforseen greatness.

	If you have any ideas, why not post them.  I look forward to
hearing just what it is that I have thus far failed to fully comprehend.

								Tony.
