  But to live outside the law, you must be honest
  I know you always say that you agree
  But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

  outside of society, that's where I want to be

You can be outside of "normal" society, but inside babel-list
society, in the gathering.  Or if there's a babel-list in-group,
you can be outside of that too.  Does being outside that make
you inside middle-america?  I dunno.  (Seems like I'm writing 
"I dunno" a lot lately.)  I think I'd better just end with a Mark
Bolan quote:

  deep in my heart there's a house that can hold just about all of you

That's how I feel about babel-list (new and old members, in-group and 
not).  Happy birthday babel-list.
