Wind to thy Wings and Welcome, --Gyrfalcon =======================msowers-+AT+-menger.eecs.stevens-tech.edu=================== Magic still exists. We have only to reach out and touch it, it is a part of the very fabric of the world. When our belief of magic completely dies this universe shall die. Because that magic; Hope, Dreams, Love, Beauty, Wonder, Belief, and Discovery are what make us a people. They are all part of a great Art whose workings are still a mystery but whose applications can be seen every day. If we ever lose the Art mankind shall not last the day. Let the magic that is in us roam free in our work, play, in each other, and most of all in ourselves. Let it roam free or it will die. ============================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Sep 1995 09:58:51 +1000 From: John Oliver To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: HI Message-ID: <199509012358.JAA15207-+AT+-gass.cc.uow.edu.au> > From: Ian MacDonald 3) If you were to compare Valdemar to a time period in our time what would it be, I was thinking victorian what do you think I think I would vote for England at the time of Elizabeth 1.

Dogs are clearly superior pets to cats, while cats are clearly independent beings. Not very useful pets though. Van wasn't repudiated because he wasn't going for revenge, specifically, he was going to rid the kingdom of a great danger, i.e. a mage who was killing of a vital kingdom resource.
