[Platt] "After many months of thinking about it, he was left with a reward of two terms: Dynamic good and static good, which became the basic division of his emerging Metaphysics of Quality." (Lila, 9) [Krimel] I know that you are impervious to it but I am often embarrassed for you when I read your posts.
