So an interesting topic was brought up in my anthropology class, and I'd like to dangle it like a hooked worm before you;

Indo-european languages make for phrases like "it's raining" where it's implies that there's something doing the raining other than the action of raining. Nietzche (at some point) talks about how it is wrong for us to seperate the Lightening from the flash. ...yada yada. Do you think that this sort of gramatical structure leads to mythology--that is to comming up with an answer about 'what is doing the natural action' --?-


By the way.
Today, New Haven, Rain. Cloud, Sky, some cold.

-feel good-
