Things simple are...including history. anything else is perception. That's the thing. Phoenix is 'looking' for the (perceived?) 'lost of innocence' of the monks when surrrounded by the trappings of decadent modernity. And a degree course in Business? where profit is king? I thought history is nothing more than the educated perception of its students? _________________________ I'll rather be happy than right, anytime.
