    I see we're all in agreement then. Motion carried.

    I don't know what is most important across the breadth of human experience but the consensus in the local environment of this forum at present seems to be looking at you with a mix of astonishment, incredulity, and incomprehension. Much of the recent writing has similarly been (sadly failed) attempts to communicate with and and to you.

    Common consensus is "winning", esp. over other people, but it should be "Loving", esp. other people.

    In that vein, I was thinking "Peace" might be the most important value.

    The only true peace is in the repose of the dead.

    Personally, I'm rooting for Pi. It's transcendent, after all. And yummy to boot!

    But it's not as tasty. Apple Pi is much better than Apple e.

    Pi times e would be much nicer though. I'd prefer to have an Apple Pie

    While not very tasty, e can take you to a whole new level for a few hours, while a pi only satisfies your hunger and tastebuds for a short while The combination might be even better, eating an Applie Pi while on e might add whole new levels of flavours and joy.

    What do you mean by that? Be careful with your words, Fuzzy. This is one of those vague, unconstructed, and open-ended threads you usually love to hate.

    I'm aware, as is everyone else. That's why, except for Minx, not one person has responded with anything but troll-bait.

    As for what I meant by that, it's fairly clear. Peace is a delusion.
