That's the art of it all.... there are many stories to the one truth....then there is the absolute but can we understand and accept it as just that? Or must we deconstruct to suit ourselves, or make it more relative to ourselves to understand it?<ul></ul> I agree with Nathan Andreas.. but I think just like all other literature, we perceive and make meaning of more than the writer has even given.

Maybe 303 is right! It would be funny as hell to find out that K-OS is secretly an anti-civ (opposed to technological systems and civilized culture). I bet he keeps copies of Species Traitor and Green Anarchy under his bed. All kidding aside, 303 threw out an important idea (even if only in a vague form). Let's not dismiss 303 so quickly. You never know. . . ;)<ul></ul> Lol! Maybe 303 is right! It would be funny as hell to find out that K-OS is secretly an anti-civ (opposed to technological systems and civilized culture).

If you both want a dose of heat, check out www.reverbnation.com/k3dakonjourman - Lyrically Saavy, w/ tracks that measure up, unlike most of the cats I hear featured on here.

The dependence on using technology to communicate has dulled K-OS' game. He used to have no problem talking to/picking up girls, but now he's out of practice and can't ('fall from grace' line in the chorus).<ul></ul> I think you’re actually both right.
