The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity. . . .
