Last night, I happened to hear the latest consultations with the 5 couples chosen by the NPR program "All Things Considered" as their representative americans. Naturellement, they were all primed to talk about Ms. Ferrara. For me, the most endearing and cartoonish of the lot are an older couple somewhere in Pennsylvania (I think)...obviously pretty strongly Republican, and rather outspoken if unreflective (most of their interviews on even the smallest subjects are peppered with informal fallacie, the everr popular non-sequitur, and some real head-scratchers. Mrs. whatsername's big complaint last night was that it was a dark day because "a woman thinks with her heart, and a man thinks with his head." She then pointed out that a woman wouldn't push the button, because she's likely to think of the people on the other end. BOth of these astute evaluations came in the midst of mouthfulls of some tasty black beans and rice, and resulted in my nearly redecorating the dining room in our humble hovel. My wife didn't think it was at all funny. That's what I call *real* food for thought.... g(thinking with my fingers)taylor ________________________________________________________________________________ If you ask me, I may tell you gtaylor@cornell it's been this way for years Gregory Taylor I play my red guitar....
