What do you have against Ag? He's a lefty. I see you moving towards more moderation. Watch yourself. Where is the socialist I once knew.

[KrazyHorse]

Lefty and smart don't necessarily go together.

I'd rather talk to a clever evil bastard like you than a mushy-headed lefty.

Too bad, you learned no useful philiophy in your studies. Read some from the Romans. Read de Toqueville.

I bruised his ego in an argument years ago (I can't even remember what it was about, but he was nice to me before that). He's such a Queen he won't let it go.

Oh, we have a cat fight developing here.

I honestly thought you were joking.

Roman philosophy is largely bastardized Greek philosophy. From a literary perspective some of it is good, but it's not really good philosophy. Even the best philosophy of the later Roman Empire is written in the Greek language.

And de Toqueville isn't really a philosopher either. Sure, he's an interesting guy on his own merits, but he's not really a philosopher.

If the US became isolationist, some other country would become top dog on the global stage. Why would the U.S. want that to happen?

The long drawn out wars to achieve global supremacy would be fun to watch.

Take a more expansive/traditional view of the art. Include interesting observations of human nature/tendancies in your scope.

OK. The Greeks still win by a hefty margin. Hell, even the Romans admitted that. Why do you think most educated Romans spoke Greek?

Think of Caesar's last words...
