Omar, lemme explain something to you. Okay, there's thisnthing called
the nervous system, right? I'm sure you've heard of it. Now, thins
thingee has more storage than the Library of Congress, and more
processing power than the international telephone network. Now, this is
some pretty spiffy wetware. It's sorta complex, though. It's kinda not
possible to characterize it with a few words.
Look at it this way: If I read your little treatse on utopia and said,
"uh, you sound like a person," would you be satisfied?
