Oh, really? "The fascinating thing is that none of the ways that these selves-attached-to-their-selves present them- selves are 'them,' either. Only Self is really 'them,' and Self doesn't cast a shadow." --Barry Wright, June 8, 2009 (#221177) Barry's views about Life, the Universe, and Everything as expressed in his "cafe rants" are determined by whatever he's selected as his dumping target for the day. Today it's those who value the Self over the self, regardless of how often he himself has proclaimed this same value in the past, as in the June post (only one of many I could have quoted).
