Right on the money, Jeri!!
Bill, the argument over whether the body is a more powerful symbol than words or not is really meaningless without some common context for definitions. Lose your ability to express something in words and it is a passing inconvenience. Lose your ability to express yourself through a body, and everyone cries about what a swell guy you were.
But if you start from the definition of self as body, of course, they are not comparable at all.
