Ah yes. Propose a nonsense topic, wait until it is shown to be nonsense, they raise a vague follow-up topic, and ask the other person to say something in particular for you. Do you want to get your hands dirty or just play professor?

But I don't think we have made a good start. I would like to be arguing about something about which we agree there is probably a "truth of the matter." Now that might violate some libertarian's (or at least some postmodernists) principles from the start. Given that I am a classic silver spoon (well, at least Ikea flatware) bleeding-heart liberal, are there any questions, concerning which you think there is a Truth of the Matter, that you would like to argue about. Or do your values tell you that all opinions are âjustâ opinions? Nicholas S.
