    Yeah, but I didn’t want to live through the Romans falling over again. I would rather not, thank you.

    Well, Phil K. Dick says the Roman Empire never ended…

    Do you want to come talk to my religion students, Mark? They’re a bit baffled by the “temporality” concept…

    I had the most amazing response for you, Brigid… complete with citations from the Yoga Vasishtha (Venkatesananda translation, SUNY Press) and all that noise. But…. I hit the wrong button and it all went poof. Therein lies the lesson.

    Liz… Jesus Christ. Not even the Romans went through the Romans falling. Rome fell, but the Empire went on for at least another millennium. Plus… that’s not even what I was talking about. :-p
