Replying to LO21985 --

Dear Leo and John,

comedy or tragedy?

Accepting me as a restricted human individual requires me to acknowledge
that living my life is like

Isn't trying to arrive at true theory by using non selective data like an
attempt to rebuild the tower of Baylon (with similar results of fragmented
languages)? I regard this story as one of the funniest in the whole bible.
Others not. Again:

tragedy or comedy?

Liebe Gruesse,

Winfried
