Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

["James Piat" <piat1 AT bellsouth.net>]

Dear Larry,

I grew up in south Florida -- sans air conditioning  - and sans certainty.
I agree there are few atheist in the foxholes but there sure are a suprising
number of professed believers in the ER  -- especially when there is so
little scientific evidence that all those by pass operations actually do
extend life.  But then again -- for most of us our choices are determine not
by the so called facts but by what we are told by the opinion makers.
Ours is a post modern world -- now roll up those sleeves, get real and deal
with it.  Good heavens.

Hey, I graduated (finally) from good ole USF back in the day when a man's
word meant something  --- now I'm too old to remember what is was we all
meant.

As they say in the hood  -- it's all good.

Best,
Jim Piat
