  Hugh,
     When Nancy said Bob was brain dead, you
   indicated that Nancy had crossed some list
   courtesy line because, she brought in "biology"
    (your word). In other words, you were defending
    Bob.
      Then here lately, you accuse me of
    crying when I defended Louis and Mark.
      So, I pointed out that you were crying
      when you defended Bob,above.
  
       I said "rerum" means thing. I didn't
       add possessive form. Besides "republic",
       there is the direct Latin "mens rea" or the mental
      element or thing, in law.  There is "reification" or
      thingification"  a common marxist concept.
      There is even "reason" and "real" , "reality".
     
       The reality is, the thing is, your characterization
        of me as crying or somekind of crybaby can be
       turned right around and applied to you in your
        defense of  Bob. And I'm sure somebody else
        can see what I am talking about, because
        they sure remember you crying about Nancy
         calling Bob brain dead.
                                  Charles
