[MD] The strong interpretation of stop signs.

Marsha:
If you watch again the latest dvd, RMP states clearly he doesn't really remember 
much before his hospitalization.  Wouldn't those years before the 
hospitalization be the Phaedrus years?  



Ron:
If he doesent remember much," Phaedrus" is mostly fiction then.
