Re: no sound ever comes from the gates of eden

No, no. Moving to the country isn't the answer. If it were, the farmers we meet that pull the stones out would be semi-divine beings - they're not at all. We need that intense social interaction that occurs in cities to keep our minds sharp (or something like that).

A disconnected snippet from Fat Dudley, whom I saw this morning. Jesus had children and has descendants somewhere. There's some weird stuff about the kings of France - the Meringians or something - and this factor (married with kids) was the central premise of many gnostic cults - Knights Templar eg. He's read it in a book 'so it must be true'. I remember a magic realist novel by Tom Robbins called Another Roadside Attraction which had a similar theme.
