Mitchell, for whatever reason I think we're talking past eachother again, which quite frankly requires head spinning interpretation and time I wish I had.

Mortimer Adler sums up my view, in case you or anyone else might be interested, in his excellent essay .

Sorry to drop links on you, I'm off to work.

Peace,
