Cosmic perspective and all that. Still where is the high ground, which of us are the Olympians, or is it always the ParaOlympics now, the lack of proper quantification being not only our salient disability but our last defence against knowledge of the inevitable?<br /><br />BTW Curtis, about the title -- think I know what you mean, as ever.<br /><br />We're all always inside this box.
