Hi Bob You said I could call you whatever I wanted so until you tell me different , Bob it is. Since everybody is so fond of myths and fables, here is one I think you might enjoy. I got it from J.W.Montgomery in his book The Law Above The Law. Once upon a time a hare of philosophical temperament invited a politically oriented fox to dinner. During the entree the hare presented an interesting argument on the relativity of all law and morals, stressing that each beast, in the final analysis, has the right to his own legal system. The fox did not find this argument entirely convincing on the intellectual level, but was much impressed with it practically. For dessert he ate the hare: lapin a la creme. MORAL: One's philosophical viewpoint can be of immense practical consequence, especially when the stakes (steaks?) are high. I am not a prophet or the son of a prophet but Bob, to paraphrase Nathan: You are that hare. Got to go drive my kid to Grama"s house, Hope I don't run into the big bad wolf. See ya later Greg P.S. to Solon: I suspect this fable applies to you as well, I have not forgotten about you , I will try to post to you later when I return.
