The last word....

[wotan]

there is nothing erratic about the formation of ammonites their structure is geometrically perfect

 

[Susiejb]

yes but, can something that is erratic not be perfect too in the whole scheme of things...

 

[wotan]

in the scheme of things you could say that absolute chaos is perfection

 

[Barnsbury]

but perfection is a relative thing, pigs find sloshing about in mud perfect, but you wouldn't want your ingrowing toenail removed in those conditions

 

[Susiejb]

acceptable conditions to one would be absolute squalor to another...main criteria is... can I use my hairdryer

 

[Barnsbury]

A hairdryer, alas, it has been many years since for me this was a necessity.

 

[wotan]

(bald as a coot Barnsbury ?)

for good health a balanced diet is a necessity, so I'm lead to believe.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 

[wotan]

no one is totally free, we all have constraints

 

[Barnsbury]

But the constraints one puts on oneself are often the most debilitating.

 

[Susiejb]

only severe illness should be debilitating.....otherwise we should seek freedom

 

[wotan]

freedom of speech, is no longer valid, expressing an opinion can get you in to trouble

 

[Susiejb]

the trouble is not everyone agrees with my point of view....how can they be so wrong

 

[wotan]

beinng wrong is a regular thing for me, I'm seldom correct

 

[Susiejb]

Some things that are 'politically correct' really annoy me ... they totally obscure common sense.
