Is all this just to get back at Paul Stone???? : ) ---- Not necessarily. I ignored his condescension that my life is a quotation and a name-drop. Insulting. I meant to say that these names mean THINGS to me. The nose of Derrida was _BIG_, and his French unintelligible. He had grey hair and was short. Searle has gotten the worst publicity in centuries, but I find the man funny. My mother thinks he is very sexy. I forget where he was born, but he was educated at Oxford and has his DPhil under Strawson, and contributed to the PGRICE. To me, life is who you meet (in life). burrellism: a statement about the meaning of life. Cheers, J. L. Speranza Buenos Aires, Argentina **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
