Are you speaking solely of Plato's writings in The Republic?

That's all I've attempted ATM, like I said, it's a hard read.
As one would expect considering his standing he does a really good job of making things seem perfectly reasonable. Then you realize he's talking about a hereditary elite, bred for the job, ruling with a iron fist "for the good of all". I know there's debate about what he was really advocating and how it might apply in The Real World but following some of his thoughts has to make one uncomfortable.

Not sure if you're looking for stars or the sun.

Well you can most likely surmise by my nickname that I have spent I have very little time studying the arts. I am unimpressed with Picasso and see his paintings much as the finger paintings my wife used to put on the fridge when my kids were very young a did them in school.
Monet was better but looking at that work I always felt like someone who needed glasses because it was some what blurry. Shakespeare just flat talked funny and was about as fun as reading the Bible to me. Strangely I do like classical music. I do offer up this poem and melody as it is very enjoyable to me. Orson Wells is easy to listen to as is the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZyNK...eature=related

In my last post that you quoted is the explanation for why you shouldn't disagree. The slang usage directly came from the when the musical subgenre became popular. |

The two levels: 1.) You were picking apart a silly throwaway joke. I mean, who nitpicks a throwaway joke? (I understand now that you weren't actually doing this. You didn't realize it was a joke because you apparently assume that I was mentally reeruned). 2.) Despite the nit-picking, you were kind of wrong anyway. I'm sorry. You weren't being a jackass. You were instead being a dullard for thinking that I, of all people, was a dummy. |
