Just as for example all water on earth is treatable as a sheet of 1 molar thickness that runs in a flat surface in all directions. Of course if you have flat water then the earth has to curve around it, while if oxygen is treated as flat the earth and water BOTH have to "orbit" the oxyplane.Bodwyn Wookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152813177593209096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-89464390867867201472007-12-10T23:03:00.000+00:002007-12-10T23:03:00.000+00:00QED ;)QED ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-4062998785581465322007-12-10T14:35:00.000+00:002007-12-10T14:35:00.000+00:00Meself, I've always thought Hegel was rather an ai...Meself, I've always thought Hegel was rather an airy-fairy minded old twit.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-60979141507604460802007-12-10T12:21:00.000+00:002007-12-10T12:21:00.000+00:00Hello Antimeoldman : The words and the deeds indee...Hello Antimeoldman : The words and the deeds indeed.<BR/>The theory and the praxis becoming.<BR/>Behaviour and belief?<BR/>That is not an Enlightimuggiment deal was it?<BR/>Reason, was Hegel.<BR/>That was the correct spirit for the times.<BR/>Reason was an ideal and a spirit.<BR/>Karl Markisarkki tries to turn that around to allow real living folk to have a say in these matters of words and deeds.<BR/>The political economy itself will soon become a voter for Blairites and Brown arses and.....<BR/>Anticant : you remain but a spirit of Hegel and romantic ideals.zola a social thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206983697656466653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-48746230517735340142007-12-10T11:53:00.000+00:002007-12-10T11:53:00.000+00:00Religion should concern itself with how people beh...Religion should concern itself with how people behave - not what they believe.<BR/><BR/>Dear Zola, welcome to the Arena.

The Jesuits said "give us a child until he is seven, and he is ours for life". <BR/><BR/>The prospect of ever increasing numbers of British Muslim children being brainwashed into uncritical zombies by unscrupulous zealots is highly alarming. But it is useless to expect that our multiculti-obsessed government will do anything to stop it.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.com
