Well, I go by the definition of clutter. If it isn't useful and it isn't beautiful or aesthetically pleasing, it's clutter. Philosophy aesthetically pleases, so it doesn't have to be useful so it can stay. But you better not mind dusting it, that's all I can say. For Ursula, how about a portrait-like picture of her? Something not too big that would travel easily. It would at least memorialize her at this time in her life.

In any event, if this is supposed to be an argument, it's disappointingly fallacious. Thanks for listening, Irene.
