If you ever read any of the great philosophers, Plato, Montesquieu,
Madison and Tocqueville, you'ld know all philosophy is political
philosophy.

Boy, is that an utterly stupid thing to say.

Hey, I have an idea. You and Jones can have a little contest on who's
more stupid via email, instead of on the group. You two can puzzle
out who can make the more ridiculous statement without polluting the
newsgroup.

And then, when you've decided who is indeed the more brainless person,
well, keep it to your damned selves, because no one else cares.

At a minimum it's _my_ philosophy and no one gives a rat's behind if
you agree with it or not.

Tocqueville explains in great depth why I cannot be kilfiled.
