X-Message-Number: 32608 Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 11:03:08 -0400 Subject: Metaphor for gulf issue LOL funny... From: Rudi Hoffman <> --0016361e7dfef845280488359eba (Copying Steve Harris post.) Indeed! Having a destroyed Gulf only increases the sweetness of the estuaries we have left, no? ;) They would be meaningless without it..... (end copying) LOL! I assume everyone on this got the joke. How insane is it for otherwise intelligent people, including most skeptics/secularists, to blather on about "Death gives meaning to life...if we did not age and die so quickly, we would not appreciate each day...blah blah blah."? The widespread memes about the virtue of death and aging have almost certainly been at least partly the reason there is no "Manhattan Project on Aging." I sometimes forget how truly clever and fun members of this bb can be... Great to hear from you, Steve.
