about preaching, I am fond of Walter Arnold Kaufmann's lectures His one-liner about Satre's essence is something I haven't heard of: 'Man is condemned to be free'

just want to chime in, if one names himself 'The Prophet', then Observer status is quite fitting, wouldn't you think? I also wonder if 'The Prophet' is singular or can there be an 'average' prophet?

I fired up my old junkie computers from basement. The one hardware enclosure I ordered from Canada and later installed DEC Unix is still humming... The first laptop I bought in 1995(?) is a Montego Fujitsu laptop for over $2000 + $200 for extra 8M RAM. I forgot when I bought an extra battery. I can replace the floppy disk module with two battery. It runs RedHat 6.2 Zoot. Last login Feb 6, 2006.

I'd like to tour Spain in memory of Walter Benjamin's leaving of this world.

I also would like to buy up more property in US. War and Peace, it's never ending...
