Sharp observation. As the former prime minister of Noway said it,
"everything depends on everything else."

JL:"Me ... and my shadow." Yes, thank you, JL, for reminding all these
'individualists' that no one is one. We are legion. We are all those
that we've ever allowed in or which surreptitiously entered our 'selves',
took root there, set up housekeeping or just vacationed or even if they
just hang out joining in the harmony whenever the midnight choir begins
to sing. So why not refer to the individual as 'they' and 'them' and
'their'? It's a hell of a lot more accurate, honest and fair and is far
less male chauvinistic -- or female chauvinistic for that matter. Let us
abolish all reference to singularity in our grammar. Nothing is whole
and entire of itself -- Donne?? -- sounds like it. I know I stole it
from somewhere -- oops: We know we stole it from several places. Mikes
