****************
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will

Nate shouldn't have given away how they saw a woman in half (halves?). Now everyone's going to be killing hookers, which I consider to be a waste of a great natural resource.

The title of this thread reminded me of a quote Dan Dennett read from a book by Lee Siegel:

"


"I'm writing a book on magic," I explain, and I'm asked,
"Real magic?"

By real magic people mean miracles, thaumaturgical
acts, and supernatural powers.

"No," I answer. "Conjuring tricks, not real magic."

*Real magic*, in other words, refers to the magic that
is not real, while the magic that is real, that can
actually be done, is not real magic.


"

That just made my head hurt a little bit.

Don't kill hookers! Who will wear the platform shoes with transparent heels?
