You mean I might have some difficulty in accepting the
horror of existence the inevitable void or the
possibility that regardless of what "we" do life in
some form or another will prevail on this planet? No?
Well perhaps you mean I have yet to evolve to a degree
where I understand something that "everyone else"
understands but dares not speak of? In which case by
all means tell me.

I could  allow your opinion to be simply seen for what
it might be but no I have to point out that according
to Sartre Reuben probably cares less about fitting in
than doing what he wants to do and to that I say "well
done" to Reuben (as I do often to some of my Amish
friends) but if I thought there was the slightest hint
of "moral" superiority in his tone (which I do not) I
would of course let his immodesty speak for itself

You are accusing me of accusing Reuben of "preaching"
? Not I Bob, reread my post. I assure you I was
genuinely interested in the absolutism of his
viewpoint in my inquiry. As an aside I dont think it
will be possible to support a world bred on fossil
fuel usage to change without nuclear proliferation on
a scale at least equal to France but thats another
story.


>Reuben described his world, and you described yours,
Michael.  

Reuben didnt describe his world old bean he described
his bicycle and if you think my world can be described
in a couple of paragraphs then you are obviously  one
sandwich short of a picnic. 


>The participants on this list will no doubt take both
under advisement.


Nicely wrapped up Bob

Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams,
power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the
ideology of the machine age.
