[always hit 'n' on anything over 26 lines long--Blore's Theorem] To: Rich Rosen, Laura Creighton, and all the gang I know this has been brought up before but aren't you all just playing word games? There is no possible conclusion to an argument about something as emotionally-charged [cliche! cliche! buzzword!] as free-will vs. determinism. Mr. Rosen, can you imagine any argument that Ms. Creighton might present that would cause you to say, "Oh. By golly, you're right. People do have free will after all."? Ms. Creighton, can you think of any argument Mr. Rosen might present that would cause you to have a similar reaction? To quote from the inimitable David Byrne: "You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything." For the required Monty Python quote: "The human brain is remarkably like a fish. It is flat and slimy and has gills through which it can see." --Mr. Blore, in-house detective for KAOS radio at DU
