Also, I can't help but think, for instance, of the millenia of warring that have taken place on the ground of present day Iraq, Iran, etc. What makes us think (Bush and us, the same) that we will stop this archetypal violence when it seems rooted in the very ground, like mycelium?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850977918787367334.post-21394482977457415722008-01-25T10:01:00.000-08:002008-01-25T10:01:00.000-08:00Thanks, Ruth, I always value your opinion highly. ...Thanks, Ruth, I always value your opinion highly.
