Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Dear Alice, I find myself continuously frustrated by my own inability to ground my views on any philosophical bedrock - and, if one cannot do that, then why bother? Absent certainty, there is only nihilism, and I can't retain interest absent certainty. I'm having another go at Heidegger, but can already see, as I thought I saw before, that he cannot (in Being and Time) avoid, like the others, starting at the roof or holding himself up by his own hair. One not only must start with common sense, but it seems that one cannot transcend it. Jung taught that, I think, but I don't like it. On another note, am most pleased about Iowa results, and looking forward to almost a year of my very favorite spectator sport.

Dear fa, In 2004 I voted against Senator McCain and for the libertarian candidate, who got something like 1% of the vote, if memory serves. This sort of thing, while arguably pointless, is satisfying, is it not? :-) Best, Dan American politics, however, appears to > be taking a much more interesting turn, and I would love to have the chance > to turn out for Obama, and possibly even campaign for him. > > > > fa > > " Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
