"Ran Tan Waltz" --- I was once told that in Kent, Essex etc. the term 'dick' was slang for a type of jug used for homemade alcohol....anyone know the truth? Organon v. Orgonon --- (you all must be sick of this by now) I think if Kate intentionally ment to say organon (although she did claim it was a spelling error) it would fit in quite nicely since Organon underwent similar persecution in the 12th century as Reich's theories in the 20th. It seems that the tracks used to make up Aristotle's Organon were discovered by western scholars and Churchmen AFTER they had reconciled neo-platonic theory with Christian doctrine thus Organon became a threat. But in the end, thanks to St. Thomas Aquinas Aristotle's works were finally brought into the fold instead considered heretical studies. I'd like to think perhaps Kate knows this bit of history and might be saying something about Reich's work....that as people now find Reich "crazy" only time would prove him right or wrong., as it did for Aristotle? But like I said earlier she just claimed it was a spelling mistake. --- Lionheart -- INTERNET: lionhart@netlink.cts.com (Jackie Zucconi) UUCP: ...!nosc!ryptyde!netlink!lionhart NetLink Online Communications * Public Access in San Diego, CA (619) 435-6181
