The first speaker said: "I exist . . ."
The second speaker said: "You don't exist. Nothing exists . . . it's all in your mind."
Another said: "To say that 'nothing' exists is a contradiction."
The first speaker said: "I am because I can say that I am."
The second speaker said: "But the seconds it took you to say 'I am', you were changing, becoming seconds older, and how can you 'be' if you're constantly changing, always 'becoming' something else? It's all in your mind. There's no such thing as 'matter'."
Eventually a compromise was reached with: "No matter, never mind."
Then the one classified as "Another" said: "Then how can people say, 'I support this or that candidate, but in an instant say, 'I don't like what he said; I don't like how he came across in the speech or talk or debate. I'm voting for the other candidate."
Then a voice seemingly out of no where thundered: "LOOK -- REALLY LOOK! -- AT A HUMAN. IT IS A PILE OF FLESH, BLOOD, AND BONES, FRAGIL, FICKLE, EGOTISTICAL, WHIMSICAL, AND AS MORTAL AS ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE OR MATTER. HALLELUJAH AND GOOD LUCK!
