Perezoso respects the intelligent sort of skepticism, following Hume, or perhaps Voltaire (and Bertrand Russell and even the boorish Dawkins or---Hitchens (quite a witty boy, really)---in those ranks); the unintelligent sort, er, Marxism, multiculturalism, celebrity pop-leftism, we respect not. And you, ethical subjectivist par excellence, must grant that many naive "leftists" often invoke some objective morality (Bush is "Evil") at the drop of their espresso mug. Atheism does not imply one decides to join the Pelosicrats; indeed, it could imply the contrary, given the sentimentality of many of the left, nearly as nauseating as the biblethumper right.<BR/><BR/>(and more to come on semantic inertness---surrrprize: Quine follows Bertrand Russell on denotation (and descriptions/existence claims), more or less, and "analyticity" merely a matter of defining synonymies, even at the level of formal logic and mathematics).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-4764300338831981962007-04-23T20:22:00.000-06:002007-04-23T20:22:00.000-06:00D (bullshit) oozing down your leg is VERY VERY pop...D (bullshit) oozing down your leg is VERY VERY popular in "right" thinking Amerika.

Maybe they're the 48% who say they wouldn't vote for an atheist as president. They're the people who cheered the recent SCOTUS bullshit regarding abortion.<BR/><BR/>Whoever they are,they seem to be everywhere, and they need a proper flogging.IsThatLatinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011949142693208421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-49721864143664502672007-04-21T18:05:00.000-06:002007-04-21T18:05:00.000-06:00Unfortunately, the sort of person who admires his ...Unfortunately, the sort of person who admires his work is the sort of person who still considers Bush to be doing a fantastic job and who supports what he's doing 100%.
