> People are not reduceable to things, Brett.
I disagree. I think that a carbon atom is a thing. I think that a protein chain is a thing. I think that a cell is a thing. I think that at multi-cellular structure is a thing. I think a neural network is a thing. I think a brain is a thing. I think our bodies our things. I think people are things. I think that our ecosystem is a thing. I think our planet is a thing. I think our solar system is a thing. . . To pull people out of that list seems to be a bit out of whack. But then again, its just me again.

The problem is that only 'YOU' are modifying it. I just see it as a sack of carbon chains spinning today.
