<<Trotsky said: 'Hsunchen know that animals are just four-legged hsunchen, with exactly the same souls as the two-legged sort.'
How un-hsunchen! Surely they know that they are just two legged animals with the same souls as their more perfect brethren..>>
Ah, but the term 'hsunchen' obviously includes both two-legged and fourlegged types, both of which rely on each other to survive at some level. So the two statements are pretty much identical and interchangeable (although I'll concede the word 'just' is misplaced).
Peter, on a completely different topic:
<<But realism only goes so far. If someone proposes to [snip] argue about whether Dara Happan has split ergativity, simple ergativity or none at all, then I will run away screaming.>>
This makes it very tempting to start such an argument, but, sadly, I haven't a clue what ergativity is.
(Only joking, Peter ;-))
Forward the glorious Red Army!
