It could have been two words for all you read. Do you have any idea why I cited
it?

At the risk (hope;) of annoying you further, I'll recite the absolute pertinent
part of the chapter:
"What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be
done; and there is nothing new under the
sun.
Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been
already, in the ages before us.
There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any
remembrance of later things yet to happen
among those who come after."
So, my point is that *everything* is plowed ground and therefore your whining
about it is senseless. But even still, some of this plowed ground is still new to
some and is therefore valid to them. Merely because *you* have shut your mind on
the topic doesn't invalidate its relevancy for others.
