SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: I don't really care to print it out and measure every
: angle and then plug the numbers into mapquest (
: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp ) in various
: configurations looking for the closest capitol. But I
: think if someone does they will have the answer. BTW,
: unless you figure out a way to tell which is the
: degree and which is the minute as well as whethere it
: is + or - then there are a multitude of combinations
: for each set.
I'm pretty sure the points on the axes are the minutes. 120/2.
But then this kind of throws the whole thing about measuring the angles. It seems to follow that the lines between the plots and the axes are referneces... each point on the axis is associated with a point on the plot. But then that means that this line would not necessarily be the angle we're supposed to measure.
Another thought... maybe the difference between the red and green lines is a bit less subtle that we've been thinking. If we measure the angle of say, a red line and the x-axis, we get one angle. If we measure the angle of a green line and the x-axis we get another angle.
Maybe that's the way it works... one color is the latitude and the other is the longitude? But then we have to figure out how the two are associated with each other.
