4. Thanks I feel that the reason these things sink is ... them pointy intellectuals
also ... the American people, by national DNA, are anti intellectual by nature... part of the longe duree... of cousre if I look at the US as part of the cycle that began the the age of reason I have to go back to at least Locke and Hume...

By the way, been cleaning house and found some interesting books in storage... methinks will take them to campus for the library, that way they can gather dust there. My recent visit to the library left me "in tears" as to how empty that place was
