Problem for me is, I cannot imagine nothing no matter what conditions you  
might try to ascribe to it.

T'aint possible for anyone to imagine nothing, I say, because to imagine  
anything is to imagine something. And any kind of something is not nothing.

Normally I like what John Clark has to say, but I disagree with you here,  
John. I don't believe this is a legitimate question. It's not just that  
the question has no answer. Seems to me that it's worse than that: that  
the question itself has no meaning.
