My favorite Uncle is turning 80. A year ago he was the picture of health. Now he has dialysis and cancer and thus will never play golf again. Yet in talking to him yesterday, he spoke in grateful terms of the full life he's lived, always productive, RVing the country, traveling the world, never wasting one moment on the internet or other meaningless pursuits. Knit's obsession with me and usenet is no better than a kid playing video games nonstop, except the kid has a life ahead of him. Knit has time too...enough to truly participate in the real world vs. this make believe one. -Greg

.... One thing that I don't like about the American system of education - the attention paid to debating, a practice where people are put on sides which they may or may not believe in and are scored on their rhetoric instead of an attempt at finding the truth. That is how the legal system is set up. People think that somehow, even in the absence of a judge and jury, there is some merit in arguing for the sake of arguement and that some power will make sure that the best side wins ... the best means the most persistent, most skilled at muddying the water, demagoging, telling half truths ... basically the ones who have vested interests or no real interest in the subject and who argue as debators instead as truth finders. |
