<giggle> Redundancy happens?

(Slight glitch with the ending....most people would consider Aristotle just
as much of a philosopher as Plato. I know what you mean, but it sounds a
little funny. Could you find a name to use instead of Aristotle that isn't
generally associated w/philosophy?)
Other than that, my reaction is the same as it is to most of your poems --
a sentiment I agree with, nicely put, but I really want to see more imagery
and "poeticness."
(Of course, as #2 points out, the dryness is appropriate given the topic)

It might muddle the point, but I'm thinking I'd express the difference
as "Carl Sagan and Salvador Dali", both of whom I respect deeply and have
beautiful (though diametrically opposed) views of life.

(I like the word "diametrically")

It has that certian je-ne-sais-quoi-under-glass feel to it, eh?

It's an old Mad Magazine joke. One of the menu items in a French
restaraunt was "Je ne sais quoi under glass".

resp:2 Thank you-- I was writing under a fit of utter desperation.
I am tired of being unemployed and having a degree on the way
that I am beginning to believe will be totally worthless to my career.
I am tired of being an idea man. People want things they can see.
I don't feel like I fit in. Even here, everyone seems like they can
'craft' something better than me-- or that well, gee, yeah, they are
so arty like me, but then so many have other skills that have them
a job.
Sorry. <rant/whine/moan off>

I'm more than sure you hasve some skill that can get you a job -- hell, go
shuffle papaers, do secretarial or receptionist work. It's easy; a minimul
amount of computer knowhow and the rest can be learned in a a week or less.

What I've looked into so far is technical support for a new computer
company setting up in December, and security work. Today I will be
looking at a job driving a van for the Doubletree Inn.
My complaint, really, is that I can't seem to see a job that will allow
me to 'follow my bliss,' as it were-- doing something I like and that
doesn't seem like work. It will take time, I'm sure.
