For whoever wants it, I've put a 1,000 piece puzzle of opera posters (see photo) out on our porch. 1334 N. Sheridan Ave. Deb "The many, of whom none is individually an excellent man, nevertheless can, when joined together, be better than those [the excellent few], not as individuals but all together, just as potluck dinners can be better than those provided at one man's expense. For, there being many, each person possesses a constituent part of virtue and practical reason, and when they have come together, the multitude is like a single person, yet many-footed and many-handed and possessing many sense-capacities, so it is likewise as regards to its multiplicity of character and its mind. This is why the many judge better in regard to musical works and those of the poets, for some judge a particular aspect, while all of them judge the whole." Aristotle, book 3 of the Politics (1281a40-b10)
