   Keith, (grin) you've just destroyed about ninety percent of several 
idonet
echoes!!!  
   Wouldn't you think some of these birds would return to their sophomoric
fascination for Emerson and imagine reason saying to them in all of their
exhaustion in the midst of the forest, "so hot, my little sir?"  Reference
your truth in another post I read a moment ago, I have just survived a "cold"
so I KNOW about those little creatures nowhere near my size who can be my
master!!!
   We still face, daily, the problem posed by Plato in his CONSCIOUS myth of
the judgement - what do you do with the "souls" that are NOT curable.
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
