Quote:I also have one question for the bystanders; who do you think is winning this debate? And if you don't mind write why.Frank, first I don't tend to consider debates as having winners or losers. Second, I don't consider any conversation (and I use this term loosely here) with Asana can really be...

Quote:The man wants to preserve a certain rootlessness; he wants to be a wanderer and an inventor. The woman, by contrast, is very domestic; she's a trapper, and (as opposed to the man's tendency towards invention) a tidier.Mad, this is incredibly interesting in light of how the book ends.

Quote:I don't think a wish is the proper term. Death doesn't match up with my perception of known forgotten experiances. Isn't that scientific method? compare unknowns with a known indicator.Well you can try a different word, but it isn't reason, it isn't a sound argument, and it isn't a theory base...
