Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

QUOTE: Originally posted by route_rock I think she thinks we are all littel kids. however I prefer to look at it as recreating something lost or something in our past. She looked at it as if she could say men were playing with toys and then has to make a remark about being too conservative. I think she finally got it in the end where she was drawn into the scene.

Would she do the same sort of piece about Scrapbooking, or Needlepoint? Somehow, I doubt it. This is one person's Do Not Call list that I'm glad to be on.

QUOTE: Contrary to my fears, I'm discovering that this all-male culture isn't peopled with insensitive brutes or power-hungry patriarchs so much as with the quietly driven makers who have created the material world we live in. They're conservative, yes, but also eccentric and oddly idealistic. They believe in life-long learning, in getting things right. They practice a discipline unrelated to their careers. And they believe in the intimate and important link between personal narrative and community history
QUOTE: A phrase from Nietzsche flashes through my mind: "Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness he had as a child at play."
