"Who's 'we', white man?" If I do know this, I have forgotten it and need to be reminded of it a la Plato. Could you perhaps explain what this means and why we know it, patiently, as if to a child? I sense that this will be something (like Noli) difficult for me to grasp. Ed Heil ------ edheil@postmark.net --- http://purl.org/net/edheil ---
