If one were prone to issuing the hasty generalization, upon reading the tripe above, one would suspect that liberals, progressives, and Democrats were all dissembling, self-serving, revisionist, intellectually dishonest, radical propadandists. Fortunately, for the good of objective history, there are still some liberals, progressives, and Democrats that won't descend to this level of inane rhetoric. If one were prone to issuing the hasty generalization, upon reading the above tripe and numerous other posts by this author, one would suspect that "conservatives" are at least disingenuous propagandists and given to the worhip of sesquepedalianism. Did you learn to write while living on the Ponderosa? May the gentle reader note that the only contributor in these last few notes to submit a word longer than 16 letters was our endearing JPS - Just Propaganda, Son. Perhaps our endearing JPS was intimidated by the two syllable word "inane"? Who's to say? Try reading for content and note that my reflections are based on your normally ponderous screeds. Say hi to Hoss for me. If my modest notes are laborious, Sartre would leave you tied up in knots. (BTW - Try looking up "sesquipedalianism." And you may want to use my spelling of the word.) Sartre is worth reading. You? Not so much. Go ahead, carp on my spelling - lowest form of rebuke. None of this changes that you're a ponderous read with little to say. More than likely, I'm unwarrantably skeptical; but, I have my doubts that you're versed in Sartre, existentially speaking. Now as to your steady employ of red herring arguments, I have not doubts. I prefer reading Kant to Satre or Camus. Although I understand them, existentialists leave me cold for what may be obvious reasons. Grok? |

Kant is necessarily more laborious reading than Sartre, and far from being existential in his synthesis. And no doubt you have studied Kant in his native language in order to dutifully capture the nuance of his moral imperative. Impressive. I realize I'm behind the scale; but, I'm lucky to finish a single page of Kant's material in half of an hour. I suppose I'm just a stranger in a strange land, right? (Cold for obvious reasons? What on Mars is that?) -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
