cari.. your world is seemingly fraught with inconsistency (the artist's
quagmire).

so immersed are you it would appear in your emotive realm that you lack
objectivity to understand why people respond to you accordingly when you
arbitrarily spit off value judgements in all directions like an errant
tennis ball machine. you hate sheep -- you love sheep. perhaps cari you are
a sheep? perhaps cari you are john Q public?

john Q public is an abstract concept which once broken down has no valid
basis (the sum is sometimes lesser than the parts) -- but wide-sweeping
generalisations are hardly based on rational principles are they? ultimately
by owning them we become that which we most despise -- if that is indeed a
sheep.
