I think it's a very sad commentary on our screwed up political system that the so-called "free-marketeers" in Congress (ie: the Republicans) have basically bent over the chair and completely given in on the prescription drug issue. The reason they did it is so that they don't get attacked on the issue in the next election.

So, in the first chapter, Rorty begins with the view that there can be no truth outside of man. In other words, big-"T" Truth can not exist unless you believe in God, that is; he does not believe there is reason to believe in Him, however (and neither do I).

I suppose I will begin a long series on Richard Rorty's "classic", Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity, which I am in the process of reading right now. He's kind of interesting, especially for a lefty post-modernist type. He also quotes Harold Bloom, which is always a plus. Interesting book. Changed the way I want to talk about the intellectual history of the West, for example.

I haven't heard many people talk about this reason for attacking Iraq much, but isn't Iraq in violation of a peace treaty? Did it not agree to weapons inspectors but is now expelling them. I think that Bush should focus on this argument rather than the one that Saddam is in violation of a UN resolution. First of all, Israel is in violation of a UN resolution as well.

In response to my post on the YFP blog, Bloggadder is taking my remarks to be more extreme than they actually were. I do not believe I ever said that it is inappropriate to criticize Israel if they screw up.
