w:st="on">Michael M Pannwitz</st1:PersonName> Subject: Re: AW: Anti Laws of OST
- Foundations of OST? I mostly call them "Tatsachen des Lebens" which
translates pretty much into "Facts of Life"...and usually embellish
them with sayings that have been around for a couple of hundreds of years
showing that they are commonly accepted Facts of Life. The addition to
"Whatever happens is the only thing that could have" in German is
"Wenn der Hund nicht geschissen haette, haette er den Has' gefangen."
What I really like is that most of us use the same wording as found in the
Users Guide...hearing them (or seeing them hung up spaced around the circle of
chairs) I instantly know its open space and feel comfortable and excited. There
has been a ghastly attack, however, by some nincompoop editor of "Wave
Rider" on the wholy grail of the "principles". While on page 71
the "First Principle" is given correctly as "Whoever comes is
the right people", beginning with page 167 the wording of this principle
(I will not write down the wording here!!)has been horribly maimed. Maybe its
not too late to ask BK to immediately start a reprint with the appropriate
wording and to recall the entire first edition of Wave. Greetings from <st1:State
