John:  I've been using it a lot.  I hope you don't mind.  We idealists are
like that.  In a favorite passage of mine that talks about Borge's
attribution of  ideas he already had thought about to Royce, it said that
"Idealism tends to do that".  In other words, we don't care about who claims
proprietary interest in what is good, all we care about is what is good.

As far as fear of death goes...

John:

I'm with you.  We all must deal with it, but dwelling upon it seems futile
and time-wasting.  While we are here, we shall live and communicate.
