Just one more thought: if there were a session, you might want to call it "Persistent Myths and Contested Ground..." In all of our messages there is a bit of what one might call the arrogance of the present (said in the kindest way and with myself as first among the accused), a kind of implicit assumption that they were wrong and we are right, and that somehow all the facts are in and the thinking done, if only all the idiots could see it. But all the facts aren't in, and there's still a lot of thinking to be done, and some assumptions are still being very much clung to by the most informed among us (the matter of women in early drama, for example). One other thought: since the preacher is preaching to the converted on Sundays, we probably should just dispense with that practice. Jim (who usually shuns chat rooms and shall in the future) Stokes, writing from the PRO in London where facts continue to emerge daily, I'm glad and excited to say. -----Original Message----- From: CARNAHAN SHIRLEY E Sent: Fri 19/10/2001 14:23 To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Subject: Persistant Myths I like the idea of the session but suggest that a panel discussion might be more useful . . . and the subtitle "and how to correct (eradicate, purge, exorcise) them" might be added.
