According to Rebecca West women are idiots and men are lunatics. This observation is not surprising, really. Testosterone takes sway over men's minds -- what madness! And if you don't think that women are idiots, how else can you explain their desire to attract an appropriate lunatic. G.B. Shaw once said When we want to read of the deeds that are done for love, whither do we turn? To the murder column. On the other hand our idiocy and lunacy has given rise to great art, music, and literature -- the stuff that only idiots and lunatics appreciate. John Barrymore once characterized love as the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock. I think I should give up romantic music for the day. It makes me crazy. CTC

As a creation of language, there is surely meaning within it, as within the originals. It is unlikely that I would be the best to ... <<Hmmm. Intriguing. Please expand.>>## my "insight" was manufactured. My only concern at the writing was to make sure I wrote English sense.
