Actually, so was I. Sort of. I mean, that was the point. My answer was not "because" or "why not." Okay, not much of a joke, but I was hoping my "smartass" icon would be a clue that I was not to be taken seriously.
My reply was more anthropological than political. See the famous political / anthropological / sociological / religious / mystery / science fiction / occult / historical (heretical to all of the above) novel Illuminatus! by the late Robert Shea and the still living Robert Anton Wilson for more information.
i saw it differently- i am asking myself the questions therefore, "why" AND "why not" WILL be answered but the answer is not "because"- that's not a reason~
i see what you're saying- but i always have reasons and sometimes lists, like pros and cons- yeah, i'm messed up ;P ah well!

no subject
Date: 2004-03-03 09:35 pm (UTC)From:i mean, "why" and "why not"
are the same thing-
they question.
but "because" sounds like
it's trying to answer
unanswerable questions.
to me, anyway.
