Just fucking around in this internet thing, hoping to find some info on the ole Kane Tribe, sofar nada, when lo-and behhold a site about the old K-Scope. Far fuckn' out. thanks. Crazy Dave * * * Hi Mike. Who was it who called you 'arrogant'? Might we see the context of whatever he/she said? That would be the only way to see the point of your sermon of today: <http://home.wi.rr.com/zonyx/ MessajScroll.html#Sun. Jan. 29, 2006> From the article you quoted by Dawkins it's easy to see how he would appeal to a rough-em-up sort of atheist, as it seems you are. But I believe people in various fields finds him arrogant not so much because of his atheism or because of his personally abrasive, overbearing style, but because of the arrogance of his pronouncements on human psychology, consciousness, freeedom, philosophy, and so forth. He's a very, very reductive thinker. See *Alas, Poor Darwin,* a collection of essays by his peers in various disciplines, reviews of, and extracts from which, are available at Amazon, at this link: <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ 0609605135/104-2443292-6772727?v= glance&n=283155> -- Jeanne * * * Reply: Done. See <http://home.wi.rr.com/zonyx/ IntroFrame.html#Sun. Feb. 5, 2006> --Mike Z. * * * Mike -- I'm glad to see that you are taking up the idea of the message board. Re: your editing of it, of course it's fine to correct for sp, punc, syntax, etc. But I don't see why you should 'edit for originality or aptness of thought'. The result of that would be to change someone's thought, and then whose conversation would it be? See my point? Best, Jeanne Jeanne Ruppert jruppert@usa.com * * * Reply: I meant only that I would look for comments that are germane & worth publishing, critical or not. I'm not going to distort anyone's views, but they might be overlong or redundant & in need of trimming. --Mike Z. * * * Hi Mike. Thank you so much for copying me into your blog, which I just read and greatly enjoyed. You write so damn well! In your introductory e-mail to this new venue of yours I think I spotted a reference to your e-mail exchanges with the JS's weak copy desk, which I will save for tomorrow. How they must love you. You are correct, of course, in every detail of your corrections, and wonderfully funny in all of it. Concerning your political and social commentary, would it mean anything for me to say it's great since I think the same thoughts you do? But the fact is that I could never express them so well. Your blog made me feel nostalgia for Milwaukee all over again. Hope to get up there some time this year and wander around with you awhile. Thanks again for sending this. -- Jeanne Ruppert Rating: Excellent Comments: General * * * Reply: Feel free to be complimentary, even if I am preaching to the converted. I'm shameless that way. --M.Z.
