	Nik, again, I couldn't agree with you more.

	Okay, Berkeley, esse est percipi, aside, give me some sort of 
argument for this one.  and by the way:  you better hope objects exist.  
I have heard enough about this perception of the subject argument, give 
me some substance.  I would like to understand WHY objects don't exist (it 
seems that you feel objects CAN'T exist.)  Give me some form of 
phenomenological argument, maybe.  JB is wonderful at pointing to the 
problems with our arguments in and above and for and with the world, he 
is a wonderful critic;  however, how you look at his arguments, how you 
look at his linguistic distinctions, can totally alter what it is "he" 
means.  In this way, JB is an object.


I tell you whut
