>what are you talking about? > >the allegory of the cave has zero to do with that sort of thing. Book 7 of the Republic... "Now imagine what would happen if he went down again to take his former seat in the Cave...He might be required once more to deliver his opinions on those shadows, in competition with the prisoners who had never been released...They would laugh at him and say that he had gone up only to come back with his sight ruined...If they could lay hands on the man who was trying to set them free and lead them up, they would kill him." Poor philosopher xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx has tried to set us free with his knowledge of the Good, or love, or whatever. And we laugh at him, and kill him. Not that there's anything wrong with that, since 'tis only a humorous little squabble over an admittedly tasteless, but playful antic of Kid606. but anyway. back to IDM... rjck./_ mailto:xxxxxxxx@xxxx ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
