2. People think of it that way sometimes.
Edited on Thu Sep-02-10 04:05 PM by RandomThoughts
However here is the mystery.

If you have a group of people in some syncronicity. Many think the flow comes from some group think in linear temporal order.

Some think they are the start, or emmission point of the syncronicity.

Really it is like a tree, the problem is many branches think they are the trunk by perception.


So some song is part of some syncronicity, or some speech, or anything.

Although ordering the trunk, branches, twigs, and finally leaves. Is where most make mistakes by elevating themselves.

As far as it being following instructions, that is an assumption that the flow is not mutable, and when a person has multiple choices, redirecting a steam is easy.


Cenk just tied "what about Bob" to defense contractors.

Idiot. LOL

Watch the movie. LOL Note, Bob doesn't get shot. He also did not take the cake :)

Note the story of Alexander untieing the Gordian knot is a story of thinking outside the box.



"How much worse can it get" :rofl:

Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake. - E. M. Forster (ooh nice)

But what does it all MEAN? Think I'll have a cookie and ponder the mysteries of the universe. :)
