- Wittgenstein here again at his apolitical worst. Of course it does harm to
- suspend one's life in such silly and unlivable fantasies; however, here we
- have little room to talk on this BBS thing.... Anyway, I see little difference
- between his ravings and Xtian thought. It's just the same representations of
- the same needs and oppressions in slightly less sophisticated terms. This silly
- cult is trying just a bit harder to be updated on all the latest New Age/Techno
- lingo, that's all. Happy trails, dreamerboy. Life goes on past you. Just don't
- come bug me in Tennessee.
