In a conversation with Bill Moyers, Joseph Cambell, the world famous
mythologist ...a man who knows the world's religions and myths like a 
computer scientist knows boolean algebra :), a man who is well known and
wildly read by psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, writers, and
religious leaders the world over sez.... 


  "The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there's no doubt
  about it.  The world without spirit is a wasteland.  People have
  the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing
  the rules, and who's on top, and so forth.  No, no!  Any world is
  a valid world if it is alive.  The thing to do is to bring life to
  it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where
  the life is and become alive yourself."


Hell, I wouldn't care if Amiga never became number one as long as people get
a kick out of it.  The thing is that people getting a kick out of it is 
spelling success.
