Oysters are my favourite weekend food. I have only recently starting noticing the difference in the various varieties - so many to choose from! Sorry to high-jack your (ego) thread Eve jan... forgive?
Vavachka, don't ever apologize for anything, you are exempt from any wrongdoings. Oysters are my absolute favorite food, especially Kumamoto oysters. I tried those at a spectacular restaurant in Boston. They are so tender and buttery and taste like slices of a fresh melon, simply sublime!
Vavchka, in your case I have to say that life has displayed its unfairness to me once again. You love oysters, you can cook, you like Kundera, you share my feelings about the unbearable complexity of Umberto's writing, you are well traveled, well spoken, well rounded, you know how to dance salsa, you like Gotan Project, you are an expert in Mac and you are always attentive to me....but you are married. So I have a minor request, since we are in my corner I feel brave enough to make any proposition I please...Will you consider having an e-affair with me? Please reply with caution I have a very sensitive heart.

AHAHAHAH! Only if you recite this poem to me...
My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease,
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,
At random from the truth vainly express'd;
For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

Using Harut as the scapegoat when you are the inquisitive mind? I don't know what it is either. There I am brave enough, I admit my ignorance when it comes to secret abbreviations.

===================
Bill: I've been travelling a lot lately. I was over in Australia during Easter. It was interesting to note that they celebrate Easter the same way as we do - commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night.
Audience laughs.
Bill: I wonder why we're so messed up as a race? You know, I've read the Bible - can't find the words "bunny" or "chocolate" in the whole book.
Audience laughs.
Bill: Where do we get this stuff from? And why those two things? Why not "goldfish left Lincoln logs in our sock drawers"? I mean, as long as we are making things up, why not go hog wild?
Audience laughs and applauds.
Bill: I think it's interesting how people act on their beliefs. A lot of Christians, for instance, wear crosses around their necks. Nice sentiment, but do you think that when Jesus comes back, heís really going to want to look at a cross?
Audience laughs. Bill makes a face of pain and horror.
Bill: Ow. Maybe that's why he hasn't shown up yet ...
Audience laughs.
Bill: (as Jesus looking down from heaven) I'm not going, Dad, no, they're still wearing crosses - they totally missed the point. When they start wearing fishes, I might go back again ... no, I'm not going ... OK, I'll tell you what - I'll go back as a bunny ...

Wow! In public like this???
I've never had an e-proposal before <flattered> I must admit it's a very tempting proposition. Must I answer right away?

And all the other ideals by which men are moved, to which men are enslaved, for which men afflict themselves, have no power over you; you are no longer afraid of them, for you know them to be your own ideals, made in your own mind, for your own pleasure, to be changed or ignored, just as you choose to change or ignore them. They are your own little pets, to be played with, not to be feared.
This is true. But he doesn't say WHY. And this makes his argument rethorical.
Everyone is free to use every idea as his own because the world of ideas exists independent of the human being. It is alive, it developes and breaths. During the whole course fo human existence we have borrowed from that world. When someone gives you an idea you don't take it from him/her. You find it in the world of ideas an adapt it to your Ego.
This is hypocricy because there are no people free of group consciousness. If you free yourself from one group you will find yourself in another. He himself uses the goods provided by the existence of government. Only a true follower of ascetism could speak about the negativities of group consciousness with pure mind.
He has no reverence for "The State." He knows that "The Government" is but a set of men, mostly as big fools as he is himself, many of them bigger. If the State does things that benefit him, he will support it; if it attacks him and encroaches on his liberty, he will evade it by any means in his power, if he is not strong enough to withstand it. He is a man without a country.
An Egoists ideal is his Ego. So he is an idealist as well. This was a simple mistake.
I can't understand what he wants to say. I could bring some examples of similar women like Madelaine Albight or Condoleza Rice.

Eve jan, this piece is a simple post-Modernist American recycling of some borrowed ideas presented in rather inconsistent way.
First, let me say that I think that the goal of the existence of human civilization is to make the human being a true Egoist: a totaly free being, free from everything. Yes, I want to become that kind of Egoist but I am not. I am still very weak for that and I don't have the necessary life experience to consider that seriously.
