    This came in under the hubris of some health information.

    It looks like a worth-reading transcript of a parliamentary
    discussion.

    But where is the "exaggerated pride or self-confidence
    often resulting in retribution", which is what "hubris"
    means? Surely participants in this newsgroup know the
    meaning of hubris!

    This is like my art teacher telling me "but you didn't stay
    inside the lines."

    Hubris: presumption

    The presumption of being something worthwhile like health
    information, when it was just usenet--oops--parlimentary,
    sparring. Yes. Surely participants in this newsgroup...

    Seriously though: did you ever think there was a valid
    model for what we do here? And that some of us may have
    missed our calling?

    Fatal, tragic presumption. The Greeks had the word for it.
