[R]eductionism' is one of those things, like sin, that is only mentioned by people who are against it.

To continue with the gardening analogy the Bush administration seemed to love (there were also many "seeds of terror" and "seeds of hope"), democracy is more like a fragile flower that requires constant attention and the right soil. Dictatorships and fascist regimes are hardy weeds that sprout on their own. ~ Richard Engel

for a purpose that can only be
described as wood. ~ Richard Brautigan
