I don't go to my best friend or politician to teach me an esoteric knowledge that I know nothing about but know I want to learn. I don't attempt to surrender the reins of my life to my wife, although she may think she wants me to. It's just stupid of you to try and draw these kinds of parallels John.
What you and I have been engaged in (supposedly) has been a Master/Student relationship. Now, I know today that probably sounds absurd to you, but at one time it didn't. And let's face it there is nothing in this world that supports that relationship so you've got all kinds of support to draw from to poo-poo the idea.
Maybe what I'm trying to do is redefine the English language to account for this relationship.
BTW, please don't wish me anything.
