> :) Maybe we should put philosophers in charge of things!LOL!!! I think it was Plato who said something about how the ideal leader was the philosopher-king. The notion being that any leader should have a good understanding of philosophy.
Trouble with academic philosophy...
Is that (best I can figure) it is rare to find truely moral people over there too. Lots of ethicists seem more interested in justifying their own actions and pulling verbal tricks to assist them in their enterprise...
Somewhat disillusioning...
And that is what is so amazing about those few rare exceptions...
