there is an excellent parable in this story. i remember learning a lot from it - it was one of the stories that made me question the value of faith, and taught me that faith can lead to poor decision making....

so, i don't think this story should be forgotten, or that it's pages should be burned.

but, none of the religions draw the right conclusions.

the way that religion teaches this story is really a good example of the blind leading the blind.
