Truer words were never spoken! As one who taught philosophy, back then I would have written your epigram on the blackboard for discussion!

Thanks Milton. I also taught Philosophy & Theology. I'm so tired of hearing people say..."The Reality Is," when in fact there is no 'The Reality'—just reality. The simple article 'the' changes the meaning completely. I was thinking of titling it 'Something For Rene,' but then I've probably written too many tributes to Descartes.
