    Tragic, I suppose. I haven't read that many plays though.

    EDIT: Brave New World.

    The exotic or the familiar?

    lykren I wanna go on a date with your avatar...(don't tell dark muse though)

    am going to go with the familiar, but I love exotic too.

    I liked both 1984 and a brave new world but I found 1984 the more believable of the two, and so therefore more scary, which I think was its intent.

    have you all seen demolition man with Sylvester stallone and Sandra bullock? im sure it was influenced by a brave new world overall, and there are some small references to the book in the movie also.


    dr seuss or Aesop's fables?

    Hahahaha, NO, she's MINE. Why not tell DM though? You two dating or something?

    Aesop's Fables. Consistently clever and way more interesting than Seuss, though Seuss is alright, not bad.

    Albert Ayler or Ornette Coleman?

    smiles---no no, its just that I told her I wanted to go out with her avatar too!

    hmm, I don't know either, give me a few minutes. ah, jazz musicians. they both look incredibly accomplished on paper but I am out of my element. let me pass that one along and hopefully the next person will be an aficionado.

    albert ayler or ornette coleman?

    Free jazz isn't my element either.

    Re: BNW being less believable than 1984, I'm not sure if that is the case.

    Miles Davis' 50s quintet or 60s quintet?

    ah that was really interesting north star thank you. and from that perspective, id have to amend my thinking and say there's an awful lot of "a brave new world" going on...

    I don't know how one can say who was the worst human being simply by looking at how many, or what percentage, of their country's (or other countries') population they killed.

    Not familiar enough with Derrida & Foucalt to answer Pike.

    John Coltrane or Bill Evans?

    Social programs. As fascinating and amazing as NASA's work is, and as much as I'm looking forward to the new telescope launching, we have to live here on Earth now.

    Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, or Chevrolet?

    Baseball but living without either is fine by me.

    Learning in a small group (of fairly like-minded students) or autodidacticism?
