(and it was) music/art/reality is what you make of it and life is just too short; might as well get something out of it, even if it's likely that nothing is 'there' and that i'm just a deluded monkey. "making a dollar outta fifteen cents," -a. extra credit (for advanced idm monkeys only): how statistically absurd is it that our universe comes together in such a way that wealthy, privileged apes with email accounts and lots of records get to bicker over whether an opinion held over a piece of music is valid or not? __________________________________________________________________________ Alex Reynolds E xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxxxx.xxx UPenn : SAS Computing : Biology Dist Support V +1 215 573 2818 http://www.sas.upenn.edu/biology/ F +1 215 898 8780 'The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself"!' -- Wanda
