Hey Erin,

rick: Nice... I like that. I also the William James quote you put up a few
days ago... "A great many people think they are thinking when they are
merely
rearranging their prejudices." It fits well with the Einstein's notion
(which Pirsig quoted) that 'Common sense is just the prejudices we aquire
before the age of 18'.
always a pleasure
