Hello Sue, I know this is random, and has nothing to do with the thread, but I LOVE your avatar. That's one of the greatest movies I've ever seen.

Yeah, while I understand what you are saying about "limits" I don't really agree. One of the ways to stay without limits, and to always find what else is out there is to not stop stop reading or listening when you find a "favorite." I have a new of favorite poems, and those at "number one" change often.

That, for now, I disagree with. Maybe in ten years I'll have to rethink it.
When I was in high school I found a poem by Langston Hughes:
Evil
Looks like what drives me crazy
don't have no effect on you
but I'm gonna keep on at it
till it drives you crazy, too.
And this poem, even as I typed it 9 years later, it bring forth the same feelings, joy, frustration, and laughter that it did the first time I read it. And I don't really see that changing.
