    I think Plato was trying to depict a forlorn setting. Do you think Plato lived in and out of
    caves, chained to the wall? I feel like I live in a cave, chained to the wall. I should see if
    I can get a pass to go to Hobby Lobby. I have to get a pass to go anywhere off the grounds.
    My plan is to buy a board game and then program it into the computer. For example, I'm
    certain I could make a less top heavy Risk game than the current offering. It is in your face
    and has shiny icons, but it runs the CPU something fierce.

    he was just jealous of the swish, upmarket philosophers who live in barrels.
