Bless your hearts (as
ex-pat Tennessean's in L.A. say)
for dropping
by.
Special note to prunehilda that I read
your comment
in other thread about how you want to
use poetry
to (bad paraphrase to follow) transcend
your
science/technological niche.
I hope
you all will keep in mind that I'm not
really insane
<smile> ... and that you might
consider some
thinking-in-verse.
FOOTNOTE: See my 4-sonnet
sequence on why I post
in Shakesperean
sonnets.
I'll look around one more time ... but
then POOF.

now...gotta
go...
final DMP verdict: who cares about burgers,
Buffy's in love with an undead love God and won't admit
it and just been raised from the dead......hmmm perhaps
that's why DMP wasn't very popular...
nice
talking to you all again - I'll look out for tea another
day..

no, not fine (as in
morally accpetable)
but acceptable in the sense
that we empathise with her possible motives... (smile,
sniffle some more.)

But (snif) some wild
bovines (deer) have been discovered with "similar" signs
of the disease. I hope the industry recovers quickly
because I like my beef so rare it's still a bit
cool...and the restaurants won't make it for
me.

Don't get me wrong. I
watch Buffy because I like my fantasy fantastic, my
reality in technicolor and I'm old enough to know that
morality comes in every shade of grey immaginable and
then some.

"fess up" means to
confess...
Well, Buffy keeps lots of different
secrets and tells lots of lies when you really think
about it...
her whole identity is a front...she
doesn't walk around advertising who she is and what she
does.
As for love...she's been burned a lot and
really hurt.

If we talked

"Dead Things" is the place to

Not in

grits anyone? with
butter (I know butter is a big no-no for colds but it
does feel so nice when it's being eaten.)
Using
"phony" meat is probably not the same as cannibalising
folks.
Maybe in the big picture, and because of
her own troubles, Buffy just wasn't so worried about
ethics...

"fessing up"?

Please explain your
unknown US expression.
Well in my experience if
someone turns you on like Spike does Buffy then you're
in love with him. But she keeps saying she despises him
- liar! It reminds me of really old-fashioned romantic
movies....I love it. The ice queen should always melt in
the end though don't you think?

why do you think Buffy

Spike?

Buffy needs
the cash.
She keeps DoubleMeat's
secret.
Would you do the
same?

Spike deserves more
attention than corporate evil..otherwise Buffy will turn
into the 6 o-clock news (yawn). Apologise in advance to
those with a social conscience *weg*

prunehilda - I've just
twigged the Enron reference..I forgot...
|
|
|
However, we all do have some
responsibility

If we all turn a blind
eye in every case of corporate illegitimacy then we
carry some of the blame. Of course many of the problems
are not as serious as Enron which I see as an attack on
democracy. The Enron scandal has undermined parts of the
economy. We will see legislation that will correct this
situation. I am Canadian but there will even be
legislation here.

...(not my favourite)
was the last in UK. I think Buffy's far worse sin than
the burgers is not admitting her feelings for Spike -
now there's hypocrasy (can't spell)

in the past episodes a
lot of the time something like this came out later on
... Maybe Buffy is disregarding it right now to some
purpose.
I think there's more to the entire DMP
gig to begin with...I mean, it's rather silly for Buffy
to even be there, she is definitely
overqualified.
There may be more to it,
you---(SNEEEZE) see?

If you didn't I'd
appreciate if you'd take a look at
what I said in the
sonnet about what Buffy did
in the
episode.
Willingly keeping the secret that
DoubleMeat is a lie.

description act (or US equivalaent) - lying - burgers
not meat..

so we all agreed she
can't (although have you noticed angel has a go?), but
as she has to earn money can she avoid it? Can any of us
avoid being part of it just by virtue of having to earn
a crust?

Do you have any
peppermint tea? That would be lovely, thankyou. I think
the topic for this evening is ethics. It seems to me
that the Scoobies have been wallowing in moral mire and
I doubt that anyone would call Buffy on her choice to
ignore a corporate lie. Tara is the only one who has
kept her moral compass.

change their perception of what Buffy did due to my
sonnet ?<g>

Again, excuse
slowness ... using someone else's
computer.
Buffy can't fight corporate
evil.
But should she participate in
it?

that has to be rooted
out little at a time with diligent legal work. it would
be like batman going to congress and rooting out illegal
contributions. not much excitement either
