2. A play told by a madman, full of sound and DUry, signifying nothing.

5. Philosophy is a bitch, though, isn't it? If it's all
meaningless, if people think life is meaningless, then as Dionne Warwick said, it's "wise to be cruel," except in the dismal layout even cruelty would be meaningless, which must really depress Lou Dobbs.

In any case I urge respondents to rent and view BEING THERE with Peter Sellers in the next couple of nights. If we aren't all pre-empted by The Rapture, watching BEING THERE will be time well spent.

8. Skip Intro, can you clarify?
The main reason I ask, is I am in the medical field, and lots of people make comments like that when contemplating suicide.
If that's not what you mean, thank goodness.

It's hard to tell what you mean by that comment.

9. refudiating that one with ease
if even .0000005% of it all is not meaningless, then the whole statement sinks to the bottong of the tar pit.

I relish the hunger that come with desire and action. I taste glory and noblity in actions. I wrap myself up in the successes that abound all around me. yahooo....it's all so grand!
