Is the pipe a tool? (I think so)
Friends, I usually smoke a pipe in the evenings after dinner. I'll read, and unwind, maybe think about the day, or maybe things I need to do, or lately about the idea of a "failed state" such as in Somalia and Afghanistan, and what that notion means. I pack the pipe, light the pipe, puff...- ethicsminer
