[MD] The Mythos-Logos issue.

[John Carl]

Ok Horse,

You've always seemed fair and I certainly wouldn't know where to draw the
line myself.  l

I guess I have a harder time understanding his dishonesty because I have
such a difficult  time understanding his rhetoric.  But he doesn't come
across as dishonest to me.

But then, I'm an innocent of Californian outlook.  How can I plumb the dark
cold mind of the Norseman?  He with his long winter nights of contemplation
and years of experience?

According to Bo, I know nothing, and to my mind that's the most astute and
accurate assessment of  my thinking I've heard from anyone.  Puts me in
company with Lao tzu and Socrates both, and a man can't ignore such
compliments.

I still think a time-out would be the harshest punishment I'd recommend.
Certainly not banishment.  Certainly not of dear Bo.
