lawsd, did you mean *joseph* campbell? that name fits this thread
i think...

as for the power of myth, i propose this thought experiment. imagine
everyone who reads this newsgroup. would you estimate there are
a couple hundred of us? imagine us being bundled into a time machine
and transported back 1000 yrs to 11th century europe. what would you
estimate
our half life, the time when half would be murdered by terrified neighbors,
burned at the stake for witchcraft, etc? a month? two? spike
