Hi all.
I thought some on xmca might appreciate this joke about a figure who appears
in our discussions from time to time -- forwarded from PSN. . . .
Marx dies and, of course, he is sent to hell. Upon arrival the devil places
him next to his hottest, biggest inferno. After three days Marx has
organized labor unions and mass uprisings are taking place all over hell.
Finally the devil gets fed up and decides to give God a call to help him
out.
"God," says the devil. "You gotta take this guy off my hands, he's causing
havoc down here. Please..." God agrees to take Marx up in heaven, and the
change is made. After a few days, the devil hasn't heard anything and he
gives another call up to heaven to find out what's going on. St. Peter
picks up.
"St. Peter," says the devil with urgency. "Put God on the phone, I wanna
find out what's going on with the guy I sent up last week."
"There is no God," St. Peter says.
Paul H. Dillon
"It seems ridiculous to me to attempt to study society as a mere observer.
He who wishes only to observe will observe nothing, for as he is useless in
actual work and a nuisance in recreations, he is admitted to neither. We
observe the actions of others only to the extent to which we ourselves
act." - Jean Jacque Rousseau
