Platt, What I'm saying is that the opinions of talk radio DJs whether from the left or right have little place in serious philosophy debate. They do for intellectual quality what McDonald's does for nutrition and employment rights.
>Well, I guess one man's philosophy is another man's propaganda and >vice-versa. That sounds like pluralism to me where truth is relative which again puts you outside the MOQ (where various opinions and statements are graded on their intellectual quality). For instance, I highly doubt the intellectual quality of the opinions of someone such as Rush Limbaugh is on a par with philosophers such as F.S.C. Northrop or even Richard Rorty. Then again you did promote the merits of Barry "Voice of Satan" Manilow not so long ago on this forum... :-) Best wishes, Anthony Previously quoting Ant McWatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >BTW, your selective use of illustrations whether about nationalised >healthcare, the environment, education or of (fine) art in attempt to prove >the pet "I'm alright Jack" opinions of talk radio DJs are not philosophy >arguments but propaganda. These cranks have little Zen to speak of and are >bad for your intellectual health. Platt replied June 10th: Well, I guess one man's philosophy is another man's propaganda and vice-versa. Anyway, I see you are joining Arlo in bashing talk-radio. Must be something scary to you leftists about free speech. Thankfully, talk-radio helped defeat the amnesty immigration bill here in the U.S. . _________________________________________________________________ Txt a lot?
