 For infinity to be an attribute of a _finite_ universe is logically
 impossible.  _ANY_ infinity.  That is why God is not a subset of the
 Universe, rather the Universe is a subset of God.
 ;)
 
 But _that_ is entirely beside the point, I assure you.  A universe
 _without_ infinities would be totally foreign to us; so much so we 
 would not recognize _anything_ existent in it - in fact - we wouldn't
 likely be able to consciously exist ourselves within the boundries of
 such a thing - should it have any - that is... 
 
 
... For the majority, democracy is the tyranny of choice.
