   heheeh...there's no, ONE, answer to that question. Don't even go   
   there...I had an on-going such conversation with a fellow grad-student   
   back in psych-days that went on for three friggin years and even if   
   each of us came closer to eachothers' original argument, it is,   
   ultimately, unrewarding as a way of spending time, imo. Roll up a   
   dube, call your favorite gal...or guy...and go out and hike somewhere   
   you've always wanted to go, but hadn't...screw the ontological,   
   wanna-be-intellectual bs....best you can do is not trip and fall or   
   get hit by that birdcrap headin' your way...all else is pissin in the   
   wind..and doesn't mean anything anyway, in the over-all scheme of   
   things, don't you think? (there's that nasty T word again!! arrrgh!!   
   :))
