Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Thank you for the piece about freedom, And, of course freedom is not a word . Words are maps of the territory, not the territory itself. I am not the word, " Someone said " It's a tree; It's a moon; You're a boy; " and you believed it. Have you always been so gullible?
